Yemeni Rocket Masterclass: How to Hit Israel Without Disrupting Red Sea Shipping
Houthis prove they can shoot both far and near, but the main thing is not to forget about traditional activities in the Red Sea.
Yemeni Houthis this morning proved they haven't forgotten the classical art of rocket shooting, sending their first long-distance greeting to Israel since the war began. The Israeli army reported that air defense systems worked early in the morning — apparently locals aren't used to such early visitors from their southern neighbors.
As one Liepāja expert in international relations, Valdis, who regularly visits St. Joseph Roman Catholic Cathedral and therefore understands both peace and war issues, explains: "It's like our tram — it also sometimes appears surprisingly, even though it usually runs on its regular routes."
Interestingly, the Houthis haven't abandoned their main hobby — bombing ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. It's like our Liepāja residents' relationship with the sea: we can go elsewhere, but we always return to our native shores. Only they do it with rockets, we do it with cameras and beach volleyball.
These waterways, as experts note, are "the main connection between the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean." Similar to how the Liepāja Canal is the main connection between downtown and Karosta — only without rocket fire and with much less geopolitical significance. While the world worries about trade routes, we take pride in the fact that our biggest problem is finding a free spot at Pērkone.
