Events reported around the Red Sea in the last 7 days — shipping, strikes, infrastructure and more — on a map, each with its sources and how precisely it is located.
Quick answer — what Off-Nadir Delta is
In the 7 days to 8 October 2026, 189 events of this kind were reported around the Red Sea and placed on the Delta Watchfloor. This page counts every category of event. Every event shows three things: the reports behind it, how precisely it is located, and whether it could be seen from orbit.

Places named most often
Event data powered by the GDELT Project. The list and the places are taken from a sample of up to 500 events in the window; the total counts every placed event. The area is a rectangle around the sea from Suez to the Bab el-Mandeb, so it includes the shores on both sides — parts of Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Saudi Arabia and Yemen — and events on land there. Updated hourly. For situational awareness only — not for tracking or targeting individuals.

Looking at These Events From Orbit
Radar imagery works day or night and through cloud. On the Map, vessel detection can be run on Sentinel-1 radar over a port or a strait. See the Sentinel-1 SAR viewer and the Sentinel-2 viewer, or read how the Watchfloor works.
