Assessing India’s Progress in Tackling Maritime Threats

A ship heading to India was targeted in a precise and targeted attack near Indian shores, far from the conflict zone and the geography of the antagonists. The attack was conducted by the Iran-backed Houthis, who are over 2500 km away, making it unlikely that they were responsible. The Houthis lack the range of munition and the capabilities for intelligence, surveillance, targeting, and reconnaissance to carry out such an attack. This incident is significant as numerous other attacks on commercial vessels have taken place in the same area, raising concerns about the safety of shipping routes in the region.

The attack on the ship near Indian shores was a cause for concern, as it was conducted by the Iran-backed Houthis, who are located over 2500 km away from the site of the attack. This raises doubts about their capability to carry out such a targeted and precise attack, as they lack the range of munition and the necessary intelligence, surveillance, targeting, and reconnaissance capabilities. The incident also highlights the ongoing security risks for commercial vessels in the region, as numerous other attacks have taken place in the same area.
