Timelines

Regional conflict

On 8 October 2023, the day after the Hamas attack on Israel, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin directed the Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean in response. Along with the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, the group includes the cruiser Normandy, and the destroyers Carney, Ramage, Roosevelt and Thomas Hudner.

On 19 October 2023 Carney intercepted three cruise missiles and eight drones launched by the Houthi militants in Yemen. While the real targets of the cruise missiles and drones were uncertain, the missiles and drones were shot down by Carney as the missiles and the drones were headed north along the Red Sea in the direction of Israel during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. Reports showed that Carney actually encountered a larger and more sustained barrage than was previously known on that day after it shot down four cruise missiles and 15 drones over a period of nine hours.

On 8 November 2023 an American MQ-9 Reaper was shot down off the coast of Yemen in the Red Sea by Houthi forces. Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh later stated in a press conference that the Houthis later attempted to recover the drone but that the Pentagon believed that they would be unable to recover anything of significance and that U.S. forces were not looking to recover it themselves.

On 22 November 2023 Thomas Hudner shot down multiple drones launched by Houthi groups. On 26 November 2023 Houthi forces tried to seize an Israeli-affiliated ship near the coast of Yemen.

On 3 December 2023 Carney and civilian-owned commercial ships were attacked in international waters in the southern Red Sea, with anti-ship ballistic missiles fired from Yemen by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. Missiles struck three commercial ships, while Carney shot down three drones in self-defense during the hours-long assault. The United States Central Command said: "We ... have every reason to believe that these attacks, while launched by the Houthis in Yemen, are fully enabled by Iran.

On 7 December 2023 the US announced it would impose sanctions on 13 individuals and entities whom it claimed are funding the Houthis.

On 14 December 2023 Mohammad Reza Ashtiani, Defense Minister of Iran, said that any naval coalition formed by the US would face major problems.

On 16 December 2023, while operating in the Red Sea, Carney successfully shot down a barrage of 14 unmanned aerial system (UAS) one-way attack drones launched from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.

Also on 16 December, Hong Kong shipping company OOCL announced that it had suspended its shipments in and out of Israel, due to the surging threat of attack on commercial ships while traversing the Red Sea.

On 19 December 2023 US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced that the US had formed a coalition of ten nations who would send ships to assist in fighting against attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.

On 21 December 2023, Defence Minister of Greece Nikos Dendias announced in a televised address that Greece will join the US-led coalition.

On 21 December 2023, the US announced that more than twenty countries have joined the coalition.

On 25 December 2023, the US carried out air strikes against Iran-backed groups in Iraq.

On 26 December 2023, the Indian Navy sent the destroyers INS Kochi and Kolkata to the Gulf of Aden, in response to an attack on a cargo vessel near the coast of India.

On 28 December 2023, sanctions were imposed upon several entities by the US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, which said that these entities had helped to convey financial aid from Iran to Houthi forces located in the region of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

On 31 December 2023, the container ship Maersk Hangzhou issued distress call after coming under attack from four Iran-backed small Houthi ships. Several shots were fired at the Maersk Hangzhou and attempts to board were made. However, a contracted security team aboard the container ship returned fire and defended Maersk Hangzhou.The aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and destroyer USS Gravely responded to the distress call as part of Operation Prosperity Guardian. Verbal commands were issued to the four small ships, and helicopters from the Dwight D. Eisenhower were dispatched. After taking small arms fire, US Navy helicopters returned fire, sinking three of the small ships. There was no damage to US equipment or personnel.

On 10 January 2024, the UK defence secretary stated that UK and US naval forces pushed back the largest attack to date from Houthi rebels.

On 12 January 2024, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq said that if Yemen is attacked by the US and UK, "we will attack the Americans' base with everything in our power". This attack was the beginning of Operation Poseidon Archer.

Attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean 2023–2024

MSC Grace F	Panama			The MSC Grace F is a Panama-flagged general cargo ship which was sailing from Mogadishu, Somalia. The Houthis alleged that she is Israeli-owned.
MSC Gina				The MSC Gina is a container ship which was en route to Salalah, Oman from Sri Lanka. The Houthis also claimed that she is Israeli-owned.
Two unnamed frigates	USN			Two US Navy frigates were targeted in the Red Sea.
Maersk Yorktown	US	9 April	Anti-ship ballistic missile	Maersk Yorktown, a US-flagged, owned, and crewed container ship, was being escorted by the USS Mason and the USS Laboon when she was targeted by a Houthi anti-ship missile. It was intercepted by the USS Laboon over the Gulf of Aden, and no damage or injuries were caused. The US Army said it was likely targeting the container ship, and the Houthis later confirmed that.
MSC Darwin	Liberia	10 April	Drones and anti-ship missiles	In addition to the Maersk Yorktown, the Houthis said they used drones and naval missiles in the Gulf of Aden to target the Liberia-flagged MSC Darwin, which they claimed was Israeli-owned.
MSC Gina	Panama			The Panama-flagged MSC Gina was also attacked in the Gulf of Aden, with the Houthis claiming that she was Israeli-owned.
Unnamed destroyer	USN			The Houthis claimed that they directly struck a US destroyer in the Gulf of Aden.
Maersk Yorktown	US	24 April	Anti-ship ballistic missile Drones (4)	In the first attack(s) in over two weeks, an initially unidentified vessel in the Red Sea reported an explosion close to it approximately 72 nautical miles (133 km; 83 mi) southeast of the Port of Djibouti. The Houthis later announced that they had conducted operations against the Maersk Yorktown in the Gulf of Aden. CENTCOM confirmed that it intercepted an anti-ship ballistic missile which was likely targeting Maersk Yorktown. She is a US-owned container ship which had a crew of 18 Americans and four Greeks.
MSC Veracruz	Portugal			MSC Veracruz was targeted in the Indian Ocean. The attack against here was unconfirmed, but the Houthis claimed that four drones targeting her were shot down over Yemen. She is registered in Portugal and was claimed by the Houthis to be an Israeli ship.
Unnamed destroyer	USN			An unnamed US destroyer was targeted in the Gulf of Aden. The drones targeting her were part of the four that were shot down over Yemen.
HMS Diamond (D34)	Royal Navy			Reportage was confused: HMS Diamond (D34) engaged in her first ballistic missile kill for the Sea Viper air defence system and the first Royal Navy missile-to-missile interception in combat since the Gulf War.
MSC Darwin VI	Liberia	25 April	Anti-ship missiles and drones	The captain of an unnamed ship reported hearing a loud explosion and seeing an object splash into the ocean accompanied with smoke approximately 15 nautical miles (28 km; 17 mi) southwest of Aden. No damage or injuries were reported. The vessel was later identified as the MSC Darwin VI, which had been targeted earlier in the month, and the Houthis confirmed that she indeed was the intended target, claiming to have deployed both missiles and drones. She was sailing in between the ports of Djibouti and Aden at the time of the attack.
Maisha	Antigua and Barbuda	26 April	Anti-ship ballistic missiles (3)	Three missiles, which had been launched from Taiz governorate, were reported approximately 15 nautical miles (28 km; 17 mi) southwest of Mokha. The first attack occurred when an explosion occurred in close enough proximity to Maisha to be felt by her crew. The Houthis did not announce attacks on other vessels, but the US said that Maisha was also targeted. She is operated in Liberia and had been heading to the Suez Canal after leaving India.
Andromeda Star	Panama			Damaged; not diverted The second attack came in two missiles, both striking the crude oil tanker Andromeda Star and causing damage. The oil tanker was en route to Vadinar, India from Primorsk, Russia carrying licit Russian oil. The vessel had previously been British-owned, but in November 2023 was transferred to an owner registered in Seychelles. She had a crew of 30, including 22 Indians. INS Kochi came to her aid following the attack.
MSC Orion	Portugal		Drone	Damaged; not diverted Targeted by a UAV in the Arabian Sea around 170 nautical miles (310 km; 200 mi) south of Socotra, or 400 nautical miles (740 km; 460 mi) off the coast of mainland Yemen, the container ship was directly struck, making it the Houthis' furthest attack so far and first successful one in the Indian Ocean, which they had targeted several times. Debris from the UAV was found aboard the ship, and she was reported to have sustained minor damage with her crew uninjured. She was able to proceed to her next port of call without further issues. The attack indicated that the Houthis could have possibly extended the range of their drones as it occurred much further than their usual attacks. Houthis claimed responsibility for her attack on 29 April, around the time the details of it were released. Sister ship to MSC Aries, she was likely targeted for her "perceived Israeli affiliation", being associated with the Israeli-owned Zodiac Maritime, though she was operating on behalf of the Italy-based Mediterranean Shipping Company. She was en route to Salalah, Oman.
Cyclades	Malta	29 April	Anti-ship missiles (3) and drones	Damaged; not diverted Targeted by three missiles around 54 nautical miles (100 km; 62 mi) northwest of Mokha, a Malta-flagged container ship suffered an unspecified amount of damage but was able to proceed to her next port of call. She was initially identified as CMA CGM Manta Ray, which is operated by the France-based CMA CGM and had been en route to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from Djibouti. However, her operator said that she was at harbor in Djibouti at the time and could not have been targeted. Yahya Sarea spokesperson later claimed in a televised speech that the Houthis had struck the Greek-owned Cyclades in the Red Sea.
Two unnamed destroyers	USN			Sarea also claimed attacks (via UAV) on two unnamed USN destroyers in the Red Sea.
Virginio Fasan	Italian Navy			Later that morning the Italian frigate Virginio Fasan shot down a UAV targeting an unnamed commercial vessel. She had only recently taken over as the flagship from the Italian destroyer Duilio for Operation Aspides.

Unknown	Unknown	6 May	Drone attack	USCENTCOM forces claim to have destroyed a Houthi drone over the Red Sea at 10:47 Sanaa time. Separately, USCENTCOM claims that between 23:02 and 23:48 Houthi forces launched 3 drones into the Gulf of Aden, it's claimed that one of them crashed, one of them was shot down by US forces, and one was shot down by a coalition warship.
MSC Gina	Panama	7 May	Possible missile	Two explosions were reported around 82 nautical miles (152 km; 94 mi) south of Aden close to a vessel. Houthis later claimed they were targeting the Panama-flagged container ships MSC Diego and MSC Gina, which was targeted last month. Neither vessels were struck and no injuries were reported among their crews. Both vessels operate for the Geneva-based Mediterranean Shipping Company but were likely targeted due to their "perceived Israeli affiliation". USCENTCOM forces claim that on 5:02 Sanaa time on May 7, Houthi forces launched an anti-ship ballistic missile over the Gulf of Aden which reportedly missed.

The Houthis did not identify the date of the attacks, but the attack on the destroyer likely happened on 13 May, when Mason intercepted a missile targeting her. Though there are several ships registered as Destiny, data from MarineTraffic suggests that the ship targeted was a Liberia-flagged bulk carrier en route to Jeddah from the Port of Chittagong, Bangladesh. The Houthis targeted the ship because she allegedly visited Eilat on 20 April and attempted to hide this by disabling her AIS. She is owned by the Greece-based Cosmoship, which said that the ship did not experience an attack. Separately, USCENTCOM forces claim to have shot down a Houthi drone over the Red Sea.
Wind	Panama	18 May	Anti-ship ballistic missile strike	Damaged; not diverted A Panama-flagged oil tanker was struck by a missile on its port quarter approximately 98 miles (158 km; 85 nmi) south of Al Hudaydah.
