Houthi rebels in Yemen have launched a violent new wave of attacks on ships in the Red Sea, sinking two vessels and killing crew members.

Israel has called on Washington to resume its strikes on Houthis after the militant group resumed its attacks on shipping. The request comes more than two months after US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire deal with the militant group, the culmination of a campaign of air and naval strikes against targets in Yemen.

Israel launched airstrikes on Houthi positions in three Yemeni ports and a power plant, marking its first military action in Yemen in nearly a month., Middle East News - Times Now
