Houthis Target Greek Bulkers in Alleged Israel Route Attack

The Houthi spokesperson claimed to have launched missiles and drones targeting ships from companies that call into Israeli ports, without any confirmed hits. Two Greek bulkers traveling north in the Red Sea were mentioned, including the Roza and Vantage Dream. The Maersk Seletar, a vessel operated by Maersk Line Ltd. and transporting materials for the U.S. military, was also reportedly targeted while transiting the Arabian Sea.

A specific incident reported days ago described a significant explosion near a vessel in the Red Sea, with no damage found upon inspection. Analysts noted an increased range in the Houthis’ claims, with the vessel’s position listed as southwest of Al Shuqaiq, Saudi Arabia. Greece’s Minister of Maritime Affairs mentioned a decline in Houthi attacks, credited to joint efforts between patrolling forces in the region.

After the Houthi claimed to have targeted the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, the U.S. and UK forces conducted strikes on storage locations, command and control, and launch sites. Despite these actions, U.S. Central Command continues to report downing missiles and drones from the Houthi, with recent incidents in June involving anti-ship ballistic missiles and aerial drones being destroyed or crashing into the Red Sea.
