Two U.S.-flagged merchant ships were attacked in the Red Sea on Wednesday by Yemen's Houthi rebels in the Iranian-backed group's latest aggression in the region. Shipping giant Maersk said in a statement to The Hill that the Maersk Detroit and Maersk Chesapeake were attacked during a transit through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. The strait is a major targeting point for the Houthi rebels in a campaign to attack merchant shipping. The ships were under a U.S. Navy escort, which intercepted multiple fire, according to Maersk and U.S. officials. Neither vessel was damaged in the attack and the crew of both ships are unharmed, Maersk said.
