Ships told to reroute in Indian Ocean as Houthi attack range extends

🔶️ EU Naval Force Operation ATALANTA is advising shipping to sail at least 150 nm further east of existing traffic route to avoid the threat of attack from attack from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV).

🔶️ The MSC Orion was targeted by a UAV southeast of Socotra Island while transiting the Indian Ocean Northbound to Salalah in Oman.

🔶️ “This attack confirms that potential attacks can take place in the Indian Ocean up to 800 nautical miles from the areas under Houthi control in Yemen,” EU ATALANTA said.

🔶️ As the Houthi lengthen the range of attacks against commercial shipping allied naval forces in the region are increasingly stretched in response.

🔶️ The Houthi have also threatened to attack vessels in Eastern Mediterranean Sea which are calling at Israeli ports, which is seen as credible in terms of weapons range.

A Must Watch Video.... by a wonderful Jazzman

"An American Jazz musician fulfills a lifelong goal of visiting Cuba for the main purpose of discovering and experiencing the current Jazz scene in Havana. He was wonderfully surprised to find some female Jazz artists playing original and exciting Latin Jazz! He convinced a star female Flautist to assemble a band of the best women jazz players in Havana for recording
3 original Latin Jazz compositions as part of a Documentary about "Cuban Women in Jazz." The final recording, entitled "Habana" is combined, with the Documentary author's film and video clips, to capture the essence of the city of Havana."
