Houthi attacks in Red Sea develop into 'new normal'

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, which have escalated into what is now considered a "new normal" for maritime traffic in the region. The Houthis, a Yemeni rebel group backed by Iran, have been targeting commercial and military vessels, claiming these actions are in solidarity with Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. These attacks have led to significant disruptions in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, prompting international naval forces, including the U.S. and UK, to intervene. Despite these efforts, the frequency of attacks has not diminished, with the Houthis employing drones and missiles, causing shipping companies to reroute around Africa, increasing costs and transit times. The situation has raised concerns about the stability of global trade routes and has led to calls for a more robust international response to secure the Red Sea.
