Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for targeting a US warship and a vessel named 'Destiny' in the Red Sea. The incident occurred in the midst of ongoing tensions in the region.
The Houthis stated that they launched a missile attack on the US warship and the commercial vessel 'Destiny,' which was reportedly carrying Israeli goods. The attack has raised concerns about the safety of shipping routes in the Red Sea.
The US Navy has confirmed that one of its warships was indeed targeted in the Red Sea but stated that the missile did not hit the ship and there were no casualties among the crew members. The vessel 'Destiny' has not yet commented on the incident.
This latest development comes amidst the backdrop of the long-standing conflict between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen. The Houthis have previously targeted commercial and military vessels in the region, raising concerns about the security of maritime traffic in the Red Sea.
The US has condemned the attack on its warship and called for an immediate halt to such actions. The situation remains tense as regional powers continue to navigate the complex dynamics of the conflict in Yemen and its implications for maritime security in the Red Sea.
