随着红海局势发展，胡塞武装的袭击明显加剧，美国中央司令部表示，美国和联军在3月9日04:00至08:20（萨那当地时间）之间击落了28架未折叠的飞行器。

中央司令部表示，没有商业船只在袭击中受损的报告，美国或盟军海军船只也没有受损。

与此同时，也门武装部队于3月9日声称，他们“成功实现了目标”，用多枚导弹瞄准了亚丁湾的“美国军舰”Propel Fortune，并用37架无人机瞄准了红海的美国军舰。

Equasis数据库中唯一一艘名为Propel Fortune的船只是一艘58168载重吨的新加坡注册散货船，与美国没有明显联系。

英国海上贸易运营部（UKMTO）表示，3月8日，亚丁东南50海里处的船长报告称，该船前方发生了两起爆炸。

据报告，该船和船员安全。

上周，胡塞人在红海和亚丁湾对商业航运的袭击首次造成死亡，这场袭击自2023年11月中旬以来一直在持续。

3月6日，导弹对“真正信心”号散货船的袭击造成三名海员死亡，两人重伤。船员们弃船，被印度海军救起，并将他们带到吉布提的安全地带。

虽然许多船只已经改经好望角以避开胡塞人的威胁，但这次致命袭击可能会导致更多船只改道，避开红海和苏伊士运河。

海事情报机构Windward报告称，停泊在苏伊士运河以北和以南港口等候区的船只数量激增225%，其中61%发生在True Confidence号遇袭后。

汇丰全球研究在3月11日的一份报告中表示，除了最近“鲁比马尔”号沉船事件外，“最近的这些伤亡可能会进一步阻止航母在红海航行。”

28 Houthi drones shot down in Red Sea as attacks intensify

The US military says some 28 drones were downed in less than five hours on 9 March fired by Houthi rebels in Yemen at vessels in the Red Sea.

In an apparent intensification of attacks by the Houthi US Central Command said US and coalition forces had shot down 28 uncrewed aerial vehicles between 04:00 hrs and 08:20 hrs (local time in Sanaa) on 9 March.

Centcom said there were no reports of damage to commercial vessels in the attack and there was also no damage to US or coalition naval vessels.

The Yemini armed forces meanwhile claimed on 9 March to have “successfully achieved their goals” in targeting an “American ship” Propel Fortune in the Gulf of Aden with a number of missiles, as well as targeting US warships in the Red Sea with 37 drones.

The only vessel listed in the Equasis database with the name Propel Fortune is a 58,168 dwt, Singapore-registered bulker, with no obvious US links.

UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said the Master of vessel 50nm Southeast of Aden reported two explosions ahead of the vessel on 8 March. The vessel and crew were reported as safe.

Last week saw the first fatalities from the Houthi attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden which have been ongoing since mid-November 2023.

A missile strike on the bulker True Confidence on 6 March left three seafarers dead and two seriously injured. The crew abandoned ship and were rescued by the Indian navy who brought them to safety in Djibouti.

While many ships had already rerouted via the Cape of Good Hope to avoid the Houthi threat the fatal attack will likely see even more vessels divert avoiding the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.

Maritime intelligence Windward reported a 225% surge in the number of vessels anchoring at the Port Waiting Areas north and south of the Suez Canal, with 61% taking place after the attack on the True Confidence.

Along with the recent sinking of the vessel Rubymar, HSBC Global Research said in report on 11 March, “These recent casualties may further deter carriers from sailing the Red Sea.”
