We don’t report everything

They don’t call them “Quiet Professionals” for nothing. I’ve got a couple of acquaintances in that line of service past and present. I don’t ask and they don’t tell.
“Houthi forces in Yemen continue to attack merchant shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, while U.S. naval forces in the region have continued strikes against Houthi weapons that U.S. Central Command says are a threat to naval and merchant ships. Houthi forces say they are targeting ships with connections to the United Kingdom, the U.S. and Israel.”
Houthis are crazy fighters
