Yemen's Houthis Resume Attacks on Red Sea Shipping

 Business Insider published on 3 May 2024 an article titled "Houthi Rebels Are Going to Keep Lobbing Missiles at Ships in the Red Sea 'for Some Time,' US Intel Chief Says" by Jake Epstein.

After a lull, Houthi rebels in Yemen have resumed shelling international shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden according to Avril Haines, US Director of National Intelligence.  Haines did not foresee any early end to these attacks.  The Houthis continue to be supplied by Iran and are also manufacturing drones internally.
