Quick Glance: US Navy Responds to Houthi Attack on Commercial Ship
  • Four ships from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen attacked the Maersk Hangzhou, getting dangerously close to the ship, according to the US military.

  • The Maersk Hangzhou, a commercial ship registered in Singapore and operated by a Danish company, was the target of the attack, as confirmed by US Central Command (Centcom).

  • Armed with mounted weapons and small arms, the four Houthi boats approached the container ship at 06:30 Yemeni time (03:30 GMT), coming within 20m (66ft) before the crew fought back.

  • After the crew issued a distress call and returned fire, helicopters from nearby US Navy vessels responded to the call for help and engaged in a self-defense operation, sinking three of the attacking boats and killing their crews, according to Centcom.
