"Somalia’s maritime police force on Thursday intensified patrols in the Red Sea following a failed pirate hijacking of a ship in the Gulf of #Aden earlier this week. The commander of the maritime force in the semiautonomous region of Puntland, Abdullahi Mohamed Ahmed [said] patrols in the waters had doubled and were on a 24-hour rotation to deter pirates."

"A #US Navy destroyer shot down an Iranian-made drone fired from #Yemen on Wednesday... as the Pentagon seeks to rein in attacks by #Iran -backed militias amid #Israel's war in #Gaza. A US official... confirmed that the USS Carney shot down the drone emanating from #Houthi -controlled territory, but could not say what the suspected target was. The shoot-down was at least the third of its kind by the US Navy in recent weeks."

Piraterie et tirs de missiles : au Yémen, comment les Houthis veulent profiter de la guerre à Gaza
https://www.revolutionpermanente.fr/Piraterie-et-tirs-de-missiles-au-Yemen-comment-les-Houthis-veulent-profiter-de-la-guerre-a-Gaza
Avec le détournement d'un navire commercial par les Houthis, les tirs de missile et incidents avec les forces armées américaines déployées en Mer Rouge se multiplient. En jouant sur la crainte d'un embrasement régional, les Houthis veulent peser sur les négociations de paix avec l'Arabie Saoudite, affirmer leur rôle sur la scène régionale et renforcer leur légitimité en interne. / / / / / /

"Armed assailants seized and later let go of a tanker linked to Israel off the coast of #Yemen on Sunday before being apprehended by the U
#US Navy, officials said. Two ballistic missiles fired from #Houthi- controlled #Yemen then landed near a U.S. warship aiding the tanker in the Gulf of Aden, raising the stakes amid a series of ship attacks linked to the #Israel- #Hamas war..."
It's looking increasingly likely that the Central Park was attacked by BOTH Somali pirates by boat AND Yemini anti-ship missiles launched from Houthi controlled land.
Which would explain the odd location of the attack I noted above..
Sounds more likely that these duling attacks were a coincident but shows how unfriendly the region is becoming towards Israeli shipping in general.

According to reports the attack on the Destroyer USS Mason <see: https://kafeneio.social/@heretical_i/111480503896877450> was due to the "arrest" of 5 '#Yemen pirates' by the US navy. So it seems the Pentagon can't tell a Somali from a Houthi
@AJEnglish 🤣
This is how they peddle #DISINFORMATION to confuse you. According to reports the attack on the Destroyer USS Mason <see: https://kafeneio.social/@heretical_i/111480503896877450> was due to the "arrest" of 5 '#Yemen pirates' by the US navy. So it seems the Pentagon can't tell a Somali from a Houthi🤣
"US says Somali pirates likely behind attempted tanker seizure near Yemen"
(The Pentagon has said that the attempted hijacking was likely the work of #Somalia pirates rather than #Houthis fighters.)
#Yemen is the ONLY government that is acting in accordance with orthodox #Sunni #Islamic principles in waging war against the #Zionist entity in defense of the ummah of #Palestine.

Woops, correction, it's a #Zaidi #Shi'a movement in Yemen, not the government. Still better than the so-called Sunni leadership is doing.

"'There are indications that an unknown number of unidentified armed individuals seized the M/V Central Park in the Gulf of #Aden Nov. 26,' a defense official told USNI News. '#US and coalition forces are in the vicinity, and we are closely monitoring the situation'... Sunday’s incident comes two days after an alleged drone attack on an #Israel -owned container ship in the Indian Ocean..."
A number of things about this most recent capture is eyebrow raising. First, the vessel owned by Israeli citizen Eyal Ofer was carrying phosphoric acid which is a critical fertilizer component that could also be used to synthesize white phosphorus for bombs.
Second is the location of the capture in the Gulf of Aden, far from Houthi controlled waters.
A tanker linked to an Israel-affiliated company was seized off the coast of #Yemen on Sunday by unidentified armed individuals, a #US defence official confirmed, following a series of incidents on the same shipping route.
"There are indications that an unknown number of unidentified armed individuals seized the M/V Central Park in the Gulf of #Aden Nov. 26. US and coalition forces are in the vicinity and we are closely monitoring the situation," the official told #AFP.

Obama's presidency saw over 500 drone strikes resulting in around 3,800 deaths. These strikes targeted areas in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and Afghanistan, often leading to civilian casualties. For instance, a strike in Yemen killed 55 people, including 21 children and 12 women (five of whom were pregnant).

An Israeli owned cargo ship was attacked in Indian ocean on Thursday.
The UK media claim that it was attacked by an Iranian made Shahed 136 drone operated by Yemeni rebels.
Yemeni rebels have warned all shipping companies that they will target any Israeli owned ship or ships going to Israel in the red sea, or anywhere else in the world.

US warship cruising Red Sea shoots down attack drones fired from Yemen
The Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen issued a warning, declaring that any vessel linked to Israel passing through the Bab al-Mandab Strait is a "legitimate target." This comes after Huthis seized the Galaxy Leader vessel on Sunday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/11/23/world/yemen-rebels-red-sea-ships/?utm_content=buffer2e327&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #worldnews #yemen #shipping #houthis #redsea

The Midwest US could be a hotspot for deadly ‘moist heat stress’ as global temperatures climb
Large parts of the world, including China and the Midwest US, are on track to become too hot for humans to handle as accelerating global temperatures expose billions to heat and humidity so extreme their bodies will no longer be able to cope, according to a new study.
By Rachel Ramirez, CNN
Published Oct 9, 2023
"At 3 degrees — which the study authors say is the most likely level of warming by 2100 if no action is taken — there is a sharp increase in people exposed to life-threatening heat and humidity. 'It’s really incredibly disturbing,' Huber told CNN.
"Humid #heatwaves will affect swaths of the world not used to such #extreme conditions.
"The #Midwest US will become a 'moist heat stress hotspot' at 3 degrees of warming, according to the report. The Midwest is susceptible to this kind of heat stress in part because its climate walks the line between dry and humid, Huber explained, allowing the region’s heat to push into the danger zone on very humid days.
"Another factor that makes the region vulnerable is its agriculture and the phenomenon called 'corn sweat,' Huber said.
"'The plants that we eat are sweating through evapotranspiration, and that may be adding to the humidity above what would normally be there,' he said.
"So-called 'hot hours' — times where heat and #humidity are especially life-threatening — will be concentrated in the #Missouri and #MississippiRiver valleys but also elsewhere in US including the #GulfOfMexico coast and the #AtlanticSeaboard according to the study.
"At 4 degrees of warming, the study’s worst-case scenario, researchers found that 1.5 billion people around the world would face a month of moist heat stress each year, and roughly 2.7 billion people will experience at least a week of these extreme conditions.
"Parts of #Yemen could experience heat and humidity that exceeds human tolerance for more than 300 days a year, making it virtually uninhabitable."
