//BLUF: TWO MERCHANT SHIPS CONTINUE SINKING DUE TO HOUTHI TARGETING. DOMESTIC U.S. CULTURAL VIOLENCE CONTINUES.//
-----BEGIN TEARLINE-----
-International Events-
Red Sea/HOA: Houthi targeting of commercial shipping continues. Regarding the recent successful strikes in the region, the status of the struck vessels is as follows:
M/V TUTOR – Adrift in the Red Sea, last known grid: 37PHR16438659. Crew abandoned ship due to uncontrolled flooding, vessel is sinking.
M/V VERBENA – Adrift in the Gulf of Aden, last known grid: 38PLU49640407. Crew abandoned ship due to uncontrolled fires and flooding, vessel is sinking.
AC: It is not clear as to if either the crew of either stricken vessel dropped anchor prior to abandoning ship. If so, this could present internet connectivity problems if a dropped anchor snags an undersea communications cable. As a reminder, though these details have not been verified, this exact situation possibly caused internet connectivity problems throughout the continent of Africa during the sinking of the M/V RUBYMAR under similar conditions in March. Both the TUTOR and the VERBENA are located in the vicinity of undersea communications cables, though the exact coordinates of which are a closely guarded secret.
-HomeFront-
USA: Multiple small arms engagements were reported around the nation over the weekend. Summaries of the most high-profile engagements are as follows:
· West Virginia: Mass casualty incident following family reunion event in Princeton in which two family members engaged one another. 4x bystanders sustained GSWs.
· Michigan: 9x wounded during “random” shooting at a waterpark in Rochester Hills.
· Texas: 2x fatalities, 13x wounded during skirmish at a Juneteenth event in Round Rock.
· Massachusetts: 7x wounded during a “spontaneous car meetup” in Essex County.
-----END TEARLINE-----
Analyst Comments: Despite all mainstream media coverage that deliberately seeks to amplify political narratives with their reporting of “active shooter incidents”, the recent small arms engagements around the nation are overwhelmingly the result of cultural violence and not deliberate terrorism. However, a continuation of such violence is expected.
