The Houthi militia in Yemen have been searching for a missing ship that disappeared in the Red Sea for the past 3 days.
The ship was reportedly carrying weapons and military supplies from the Horn of Africa to Yemen to aid the Houthis. It was also carrying some foreign military experts.
The ship lost contact as it was traveling a regular smuggling route and was supposed to arrive in Yemen on Friday but went missing on Saturday.
The Houthis have mobilized fishing boats and drones along the coast to search for the missing vessel but have not found any signs of it.
The Houthis are concerned the ship may have been targeted by the US-backed Prosperity Guardian mission in the Red Sea that counters Houthi attacks on ships.
Some sources cited in the article suspect the ship may have been intercepted by US or other Western navies patrolling the area to stop Iranian arms shipments to the Houthis.
In the past day, US forces destroyed 2 Houthi drones and 1 small vessel often used as a kamikaze boat by the Houthis in the Red Sea region.
