The US Maritime Administration issued a notice on Tuesday alerting all US vessels that the Red Sea area is no longer safe to navigate and cautioned them to be wary of potential missile or drone strikes if they penetrate the area.
"There are reports that multiple drones and missiles were launched from Yemen into the Red Sea region on October 19, 2023. Exercise caution when transiting this area," the notice said, adding that the alert is effective from October 23-30.
Amid growing resentment towards the US for its efforts in aiding "Israel" in the war on Gaza, Yemeni Sanaa forces launched on October 19 three cruise missiles and multiple drones that were later intercepted by the US Navy destroyer Carney.
The following day, CNN reported that the warship intercepted 15 drones and four cruise missiles over the span of nine hours.
Last Sunday, Israeli media reported that there are estimations within "Israel" of the possibility of missile launches from Yemen and Iraq.
