Centcom has just announced that the Houthis hit another ship transiting the Red Sea. The Houthis fired a UAV and hit the Transworld Navigator as it was heading to Egypt.
While there was damage, it wasn’t enough to stop the massive cargo ship:
Iranian-backed Houthis struck the M/V TRANS WORLD NAVIGATOR, a Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned, and operated bulk cargo carrier in a suspected uncrewed aerial system (UAS) attack. Today, at 4:00 a.m. (Sanaa time), the crew reported minor injuries and moderate damage to the ship, but the vessel has continued underway. M/V TRANSWORLD NAVIGATOR most recently docked in Malaysia and was en route to Egypt. This marks the fourth attack by Iranian-backed Houthis on the M/V TRANSWORLD NAVIGATOR. There were no injuries on U.S. or coalition vessels.

I have no idea while the US and other nations continue to allow these attacks to continue. The Houthis sunk a ship recently and are trying to sink another. Meanwhile, Biden sits on his thumbs and drools while he thinks about another ice cream.
Paramount weakness on display.
