31 December: In a recent naval operation off the Yemeni coast, U.S. Navy H60 Seahawk helicopters successfully neutralized three of four assault boats operated by Houthi forces. These boats were engaging in a hostile attempt to intercept the MV Maersk Hangzhou, a civilian vessel navigating through the area. This incident is notable as it marks the first use of American rotarywing aircraft in direct action against Houthi elements in the region, a significant development following the increased tensions stemming from the escalation of the IsraelHamas conflict.
