17 January 2024 - Houthi attacks

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Have you followed the details of Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping? Most miss, and of the few that hit, none has yet done serious damage. It's an intimidation operation. The counterattacks do more physical damage, but when Iran gives you tons of weapons, losing a few doesn't hurt much. Psychological attack meets psychological defense. The winner is whoever cares less about what happens.
