Yemen’s Houthi Rebels Launch Missile at U.S. Warship in Gulf of Aden

 


Yemen’s Houthi rebels have launched a missile at a U.S. warship patrolling the Gulf of Aden, forcing it to shoot down the projectile. This marks a further escalation in the biggest confrontation at sea the U.S. Navy has seen in the Middle East in decades. 

The attack on the destroyer USS Carney is the first time the Houthis directly targeted a U.S. warship since the rebels began their attacks on shipping in October. The missile was successfully shot down by USS Carney, and there were no injuries or damage reported.

The conflict in the Middle East has been escalating for years, and this recent attack is a reminder of the ongoing tensions in the region. The U.S. Navy has been involved in the Middle East for decades, and this latest attack highlights the dangers that sailors face while patrolling the region’s waters.
