Why the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea are worrisome

Live Mint  

The snowballing crisis in the Red Sea is threatening to disrupt an already fragile global supply chain, as shippers begin to avoid one of the world’s busiest trade routes. The Yemen-based and Iran-backed Houthi militants have fired over 100 drones and missiles at ships belonging to over 35 countries plying the Red Sea. Many large container shipping firms and BP, one of the world’s largest oil producers, have suspended voyages through the narrow waterway—one of the busiest trade routes that connects Europe and Asia through the Suez Canal. About 65% of India’s crude imports pass through the Suez Canal and 50% of its exports use this artificial waterway that connects the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
