Red Sea: Why have some EU nations distanced themselves from the US operation against the Houthis?
European Union allies have been reluctant to back a United States-led naval operation to safeguard ships from attacks by Houthi militants in the Red Sea.
The Houthis have reported that all casualties in Hodeida from a recent U.S.-UK assault were civilians and have vowed a "painful response" to Americans. The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier Eisenhower, now in the Red Sea and past its 200-day deployment mark, faces relentless Houthi attacks. The Red Sea, carrying around 20% of the world's maritime trade, is a key route to Europe via the Suez Canal, though less critical to America. Despite the U.S. carrier's presence, the waters remain extremely dangerous

A ship came under attack near Hodeida in the Red Sea, raising concerns over maritime safety. The vessel, believed to be the Marshall Islands-flagged Laax, sustained damage from a missile strike. The Houthis are suspected of the attack, part of their campaign supporting Palestinians. This escalation has disrupted key shipping routes, prompting US and allied responses.

The Houthis launched coordinated attacks on vessels in the Indian Ocean and Red Sea, targeting American and Israeli ships in solidarity with Palestinians and in retaliation for alleged American-British aggression. This followed Israeli airstrikes in Rafah, Gaza, killing at least 35 people. The Houthis had previously threatened increased attacks if Israel invaded Rafah, escalating regional hostilities.

Rishi Sunak has said the UK āwill not hesitateā to protect British interests after the RAF carried out a fifth round of joint strikes against Houthi rebels with US forces. The prime minister said that the strikes "were taken in self-defence in the face of an ongoing threat that the Houthis pose." He continued: "We have always said that we will not hesitate to protect British interests abroad and at home." Report by Covellm.

The U.S. has reportedly lost its sixth MQ-9 Reaper drone to Yemeni rebel forces since October 2023, with the latest shootdown claimed by Houthis in Marib province. While the U.S. denied the loss, visual evidence showed the downed $30 million drone. These recurring incidents highlight the rebels' growing capabilities against U.S. assets and the vulnerability of advanced drones in contested airspaces.
