The Houthis have not yet claimed responsibility for the attack, but are known to target international shipping in the area as part of their campaign against Israel over the conflict in Gaza.

The Red Sea is a crucial maritime route, and the UK center urged caution for vessels in the area.

The text summarizes two ongoing conflicts: one in Gaza between Hamas militants and Israel, and another in Yemen between Houthi militia and various opposing forces.

The conflict in Gaza started in October 2021 with Hamas militants killing over 1,200 people and taking hostages, leading to Israeli retaliation.

In Yemen, Houthi militia has been attacking shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since November 2021, resulting in the seizure and sinking of vessels.

The attacks have decreased recently due to US-led airstrikes against the militia.

American officials believe the Houthi militia may be running out of weapons due to the US-led campaign and their constant use of drones and missiles.

Both conflicts have led to a decline in shipping in the affected regions.

The Houthis, a rebel group in Yemen, have recently resumed their attacks, claiming to have shot down another US military MQ-9 Reaper drone on Saturday.

The US Air Force confirmed the drone crashed in Yemen, but an investigation is ongoing for more details.
