On March 15, US President Trump announced that he had ordered "decisive and powerful military action" against the Houthi armed forces.

On March 16, local time, the health department controlled by the Houthi armed forces in Yemen said that the US air strikes on Yemen have killed 53 people and injured 98 others. The air strikes also caused damage to residents' property and public facilities.

The US Secretary of Defense said that unless the Houthi armed forces stop military operations, the United States will continue to take strikes to protect the transportation safety of key waterways.

Although the Houthi armed forces in Yemen have not launched attacks on merchant ships since the beginning of this year, according to the latest situation, the Red Sea shipping crisis is far from over.

The latest data shows that the proportion of tankers and dry bulk carriers detouring will further increase in 2025, and the traffic volume of the Suez Canal will drop by 72% compared with 2023, and the Egyptian economy will suffer a heavy blow.

At the same time, the European Union announced that it would extend the Red Sea escort mission until 2026, highlighting the long-term concerns of the international community about the situation.
