Two U.S. defense officials confirmed that Houthi rebels seized the Galaxy Leader in the Red Sea on Sunday afternoon local time. The rebels descended on the cargo ship by rappelling from a helicopter, the officials said, confirming details first reported by NBC News. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter. That resembles other vessel seizures conducted by Iran, which long has armed the Houthis.

My gosh rebels has improved by leaps and bounds. During my young times, rebels never attack via rappelling as that is too costly or need some training to execute it right. Similar to Hamas invaded Israel via paragliding also need training too. Times have changed indeed.
