Seatrade Maritime News published on 14 January 2025 an article titled "Over One Month since Last Confirmed Red Sea Attack on Shipping" by Gary Howard.
The last confirmed Houthi attack on Red Sea shipping took place on 10 December. This has been the quietest period for Houthi attacks since they began in late 2023. The likely explanation is the reduced availability of suitable targets and the military intervention by the United States and United Kingdom.
