Konflik Laut Merah Dan Pelajaran Untuk Perkuatan Pertahanan Laut Nusantara

Abstract

The Houthi group, which controls Yemen, has imposed a blockade in the Red Sea  against ships flying the flags of certain countries, prompting the UN Security Council to issue a resolution. This resolution has become a basis for the United States and several 
other countries to begin attacking the Houthi group, escalating the situation in the Red Sea. This research discusses the conflict in the Red Sea and the lessons that can be learned to strengthen the maritime defense of the Indonesia’s. Using a qualitative 
approach and descriptive analysis methods, data was collected through literature studies. The conflict involving the Houthi Group in Yemen highlights the importance of mastering modern defense technologies, such as ballistic missiles and drones, when facing larger powers. The research findings identify the significance of self-reliance in strengthening defense systems, alongside the necessity for Indonesia to continuously foster international cooperation. Ultimately, this study aims to provide recommendations for Indonesia to enhance its maritime defense capacity.
