Red Sea ship reports

Compare what the selected dossiers record about dates, places, reported drones, operational effects and attribution. This selective archive does not provide attack totals or a measure of risk. A reported sighting, a closure and an established drone are separate questions.

Selection: public maritime dossiers with a recorded Red Sea location, including the Hodeidah area. Gulf of Aden dossiers are outside this table. Vessel names appear only where the archive records a quoted source for the name.

The table reproduces the English reference dossiers. Quotations keep their original language and wording. Source publication dates are not verified statement or event times. Missing passages or later findings mean not recorded here, not that none exist.
