Houthi Attacks in Red Sea Disrupt Global Trade
- Houthi rebels have launched over 100 attacks on ships in the Red Sea in the past month, the most in decades
- The attacks have disrupted vital global trade routes and reverberated across over 44 countries
- Oil giant BP and shipping company Maersk suspended Red Sea operations due to the attacks
- The US formed a 10+ country coalition to improve security in the Red Sea
- The Houthis say the attacks are in retaliation for Israel's war in Gaza, but targeted ships have no Israel ties
