The leader of Yemen's Houthis, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, said the Iran-aligned group will monitor the implementation of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas and will continue its attacks on ships in the Red Sea if it is breached.
The Houthis have carried out more than 100 attacks on ships since November 2023 and have sunk two vessels, seized another and killed at least four seafarers.
The intensity of attacks has disrupted global shipping trade and prompted route changes, which have meant longer voyages for goods to arrive.
The Houthis have targeted the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, which are joined by the narrow Bab al-Mandab strait, a chokepoint between the Horn of Africa and the Middle East.
The waterway is a strategic link between the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean through which exports to Western markets from the Gulf and Asia must pass before entering the Suez Canal.
Here are details on some of the attacks:
