Halting Houthi Red Sea Attacks Remains a Challenge

 The Washington Post published on 22 June 2024 an article titled "Yemen's Houthis Undeterred by U.S. Campaign to Halt Red Sea Attacks" by Susannah George, Dan Lamothe, and Abigail Hauslohner.  

There have been about 100 Houthi drone and missile attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since the United States and United Kingdom began targeting Houthi launching sites in Yemen.  By the end of March, ship traffic through the Suez Canal and Red Sea had dropped by half because of the attacks.
