Attacks by Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in the Red Sea are disrupting a key trade route for energy supplies to Europe, according to The Associated Press.
Missiles and drones are being used to target shipping in the area, posing a threat to energy shipments headed for Europe. The 27-country European Union relies heavily on imported natural gas to power factories, generate electricity, and heat homes.
