Yemen : US, UK Ships Return to Red Sea After Houthis Vow to Hold Fire

Six ships linked to the US and UK have successfully transited the area without coming under attack since Jan. 19, when the Houthis said they would stop targeting vessels associated with those countries, according to the Joint Maritime Information Center, which collates information on the militants’ attacks from multiple navies.
