The European Union Naval Force (EUNAVFOR) has warned that vessels with ties to Israel, the United States, or Saudi Arabia are at elevated risk of attack following a Houthi threat, and advised them to avoid the Red Sea and the Strait of Aden until the threat subsides, according to Channel 12 News.
The European Union Naval Force (EUNAVFOR) issued a warning Wednesday afternoon, advising all vessels with ties to Israel, the United States, or Saudi Arabia to avoid the Red Sea and the Strait of Aden due to a heightened risk of attack following a recent Houthi threat. The warning, reported by Channel 12 News, comes amid a series of Houthi maritime threats and attacks on commercial shipping. Earlier Wednesday, Pakistan warned it would use force against Houthi threats to its flagged vessels, as The Zioneer reported. The Houthi movement has repeatedly targeted Israeli-linked shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, and recently declared a renewed ban on Israeli vessels. No specific attack has been reported in connection with this warning, and the exact nature of the Houthi threat referenced has not been detailed.
