Fortunately, a coalition of allies are defending civilian ships from Houthi attacks. Both by rebutting the vast majority of the munitions in flight, as well as blowing up the assailants and munitions before they are used. Things like the helicopter-based hijacking of a civilian ship in November are no longer possible for the Houthis.
