Russia has provided the Houthis with targeting intelligence and possibly missiles to support their attacks targeting international shipping

Serious stuff! More on the megalomaniac and war criminal Putin the Terrible

"Russia has provided the Houthis with targeting intelligence to support their attacks targeting international shipping, according to the Wall Street Journal. The IRGC reportedly facilitated the transfer of the Russian intelligence to the Houthis at some unspecified point in 2024, helping the Houthis to target vessels that had deactivated their radio signals. The US Maritime Administration in March 2024 advised vessels to deactivate their radios when transiting near Yemen in order to protect themselves from Houthi attacks. Iran has separately tried to broker a deal between Russia and the Houthis that would transfer Russian anti-ship cruise missiles to the Houthis, further enabling attacks on international shipping. There is no evidence that Russia has sent missiles to the Houthis at this time, however, according to the Wall Street Journal."
