Houthis Adapt Red Sea Tactics to Counter Allied Attacks

 Seatrade Maritime News published on 3 July 2024 an article titled "Houthi Tactics Take a Dangerous New Turn" by Nick Savvrides.  

Houthis in Yemen may be co-locating weapons, manufacturing and training facilities in the center of civilian populations to deter US and UK air strikes.  The Houthis have developed a robust infrastructure of arms manufacturing within Yemen in an effort to be less reliant on Iran.  They are also making greater use of unmanned surface vessels to attack commercial ships in the Red Sea.
