Part 6/8:
The targeted vessel, the Jenko Picardi, was struck approximately 70 miles southeast of Aden. The attack caused limited damage, and all crew members aboard remained unharmed. The vessel continued its voyage after the incident, demonstrating resilience despite the attack.
This pattern of retaliatory strikes reflects the persistent tension between the U.S., its allies, and Houthi forces—who are backed by Iran. Despite repeated military actions, Houthi missile and drone attacks against commercial and military targets in the Red Sea persist, underscoring the ongoing challenge of deterring asymmetric warfare in the region.
