US Navy Evacuates Injured Mariner From\u00a0Houthi-Attacked Cargo Ship Set Ablaze By Missiles\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Chaos in the Red Sea region continued into the latter part of the week, with the US military rescuing an injured civilian mariner from a cargo ship attacked by Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The\u00a0situation underscores the ongoing disruption in the key maritime chokepoint as some have viewed the Biden administration’s\u00a0Operation Prosperity Guardian as a\u00a0colossal failure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Overnight, US Central Command (CENTCOM) released a statement<\/a> about\u00a0M\/V Verbena \u2014 a Palauan-flagged, Ukrainian-owned, Polish-operated bulk cargo vessel\u00a0\u2014 that was hit with two\u00a0anti-ship cruise missiles, sparking a fire\u00a0aboard the ship in the\u00a0Gulf of Aden area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“M\/V Verbena reported damage and subsequent fires on board. The crew continues to fight the fire. One civilian mariner was severely injured during the attack,”\u00a0CENTCOM wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CENTCOM continued, “Aircraft from USS Philippine Sea (CG 58) medically evacuated the injured mariner to a partner force ship nearby for medical attention.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a separate statement,\u00a0USCENTCOM detailed how its forces had a busy week, successfully\u00a0destroying one air defense sensor in a Houthi-controlled area of Yemem,\u00a0an uncrewed surface vessel in the Red Sea,\u00a0two patrol boats in the Red Sea, and\u00a0one uncrewed aerial system in the Red Sea.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Greek cargo ship\u00a0Tutor<\/a> was hit by a drone boat attack. This is one of the first instances of\u00a0Houthis using remote-controlled surface vessels against commercial shipping vessels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to a new report released Thursday, the Defense Intelligence Agency said traffic through the Red Sea has declined by about 90% since mid-February.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Middle East Eye recently obtained a document from the\u00a0International Maritime Organization that shows\u00a0Houthi rebels have attacked 28 bulk carriers, tankers, container ships, cargo ships, and crude oil tankers this year.<\/p>\n

We’ll end this note with\u00a0CENTCOM’s frustration:<\/p>\n

“This continued reckless behavior by the Iranian-backed Houthis threatens regional stability and endangers the lives of mariners across the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The Houthis claim to be acting on behalf of Palestinians in Gaza and yet they are targeting and threatening the lives of third country nationals who have nothing to do with the conflict in Gaza. The ongoing threat to the ability to safely transit the region caused by the Houthis makes it harder to deliver critical assistance to the people of Yemen as well as to Gaza. US CENTCOM will continue to act with partners to hold the Houthis accountable and degrade their military capabilities.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Houthis have only been emboldened by a weak Biden administration whose disastrous\u00a0foreign policy decisions have unleashed fires across the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
