A US Navy commander announced today, Thursday, that a Houthi guided boat loaded with explosive materials exploded in the Red Sea today, but it was miles away from the American fleet, indicating that it was not close enough to any ships to cause any damage or human losses. .

Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, who commands US Navy forces in the Middle East, told reporters there are no US Marines on commercial ships to provide security in the Red Sea at this time.

He added, "The Houthis have launched 25 attacks so far on commercial ships crossing the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden," explaining, "There are no signs of their irresponsible behavior abating."

He continued, "22 countries are currently participating in the coalition that we are leading in the Red Sea."
