Oil Tankers Alter Course from the Red Sea Following U.S. and British Strikes in Yemen

Shipping data from the London Exchanges and the Kepler global trade information platform indicates that at least four oil tankers have altered their course from the Red Sea since the strikes executed by the United States and Britain on Houthi targets in Yemen. The U.S. and British forces carried out air and sea strikes on military targets of the Houthis in Yemen in response to the group's attacks on vessels in the Red Sea, marking a regional escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
