A Huthi delegation made a rare visit to Moscow on January 25 to discuss "the need to increase efforts to pressure" the United States and Israel to end the war in Gaza, a spokesman for the Yemeni rebels said. Mohammed Abdel Salam led the delegation that met with Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov to discuss the conflict in Gaza. The Huthis have launched frequent attacks on ships traversing the Red Sea in a bid to pressure Israel to end the war. The attacks prompted the United States and Britain to launch a series of retaliatory strikes.
