On June 30, 2024, 12 suspicious small boats surrounded the 'Summer Lady' in the Red Sea, about 13 nautical miles from Al Mukha, Yemen. The small craft, including some fast boats and kayak-small boats that were operated unmanned, approached the bul carrier and were 1.5 nautical miles away from the ship. They remained in the vicinity of the vessel for approximately one hour before departing again. The ship continued its voyage from Salalah to Suez with an ETA as of July 4. Later the U.S. Central Command forces destroyed three uncrewed surface vessels (USV) of the Houthi terrorists in the area. It was unclear whether these USV’s were among the 12 boats that had been involved in the incident with the 'Summer Lady'.

The Houthis claimed attacking two vessels in the Red Sea, with the first one being the 'Delonix', which was attacked using ballistic missiles. Houthis referred to the vessel as American, though the ship is managed by the Greek Merman Maritime Co. The second vessel which was allegedly attacked was the 'Ioannis'(IMO: 9760158), using various uncrewed surface boats. The Houthi terrorists also claimed attacking the 'Waler' (IMO: 9393668) and 'Johannes Maersk' (IMO: 9215189) in the Mediterranean Sea, stating that the Denmark-registered containership was targeted because it is owned by Maersk, which as per Houthis, supports a Zionist entity and frequently violates the Houthis ban on visiting Israeli ports.
