Red Sea: Drone Boat Used In Attempted Attack

The Houthis have introduced unmanned surface vessels (USVs) to their current array of threats to Red Sea shipping.

While the Yemeni militant group has used crude drone boats before — they actually pioneered the operational use of kamikaze USVs years ago — these weapons have not appeared in the current crisis until today. The USV “detonated in international shipping lanes,” Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, Commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT), told reporters.
