The attack is the first by the Houthis that the US had confirmed since Friday when America and its allies launched strikes on the rebels following weeks of attacks on Red Sea ships. During the Israel-Hamas conflict, the Houthis have targeted the critical corridor that connects Asian and Middle Eastern energy and freight flows to the Suez Canal and then to Europe, attacks that threaten to escalate the fight into a regional inferno. The Houthis, a Shiite rebel group aligned with Iran that seized Yemen's capital in 2014, did not immediately respond to the attack. It was unclear whether the US would retaliate for the current attack. Still, President Joe Biden has stated that he “would not hesitate to direct additional actions to protect our people and the free flow of international business as necessary.“ He has also referred to the Houthis as a terrorist organization as his government considers formally reapplying for the designation, which Biden revoked during his first year in office. The Houthi fire on Sunday was directed at the USS Laboon, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer patrolling in the Red Sea's southern reaches, according to a statement from the US Central Command. According to the US, the missile came from near Hodeida, a Red Sea port city that the Houthis have long held. “An anti-ship cruise missile was fired from Iranian-backed Houthi insurgent regions of Yemen targeting the USS Laboon,“ Central Command reported. “No injuries or damage were recorded.“ On the first day of US-led strikes on Friday, they targeted 28 locations and more than 60 targets with cruise missiles and bombs thrown from fighter aircraft, cruisers, and a submarine. Weapon stockpiles, radars, and command centers were among the sites targeted, including those in inaccessible mountain areas, according to the US.
