An employee works at a thermal power plant damaged by multiple Russian missile strikes, in an undisclosed location in Ukraine. Russian forces launched a sweeping overnight assault on Ukraine’s energy network, striking multiple regions just hours before planned peace discussions.

US Military Strikes Houthi Radar Sites in Yemen Following Merchant Sailor’s Disappearance

 

In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, the United States military has launched a series of attacks targeting radar sites operated by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. These strikes come in response to the rebels’ assaults on shipping in the crucial Red Sea corridor. The situation intensified after a merchant sailor went missing following an earlier Houthi strike on a ship.

The U.S. Navy, facing its most intense combat since World War II, aims to counter the Houthi campaign. However, the rebel assaults often endanger ships and sailors unrelated to the conflict, further disrupting cargo and energy shipments between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

Central Command reported that seven radars within Houthi-controlled territory were destroyed, preventing the rebels from targeting maritime vessels. Additionally, the U.S. military neutralized two bomb-laden drone boats and a Houthi-launched drone over the Red Sea.

The missing merchant sailor was aboard the Liberian-flagged bulk cargo carrier “Tutor,” which suffered a Houthi attack using a bomb-carrying drone boat. The crew was rescued, but the vessel remains in the Red Sea, slowly taking on water.

As the conflict continues, tensions remain high in the region, impacting global trade and security.
