A U.S. warship and some commercial ships are under attack in the Red Sea, and it’s a serious situation connected to conflicts in the Middle East. The Pentagon, a group that manages U.S. military affairs, confirmed the attack on the USS Carney and other ships. The USS Carney is a powerful ship that has been stopping drones and missiles in the area.
The British military also mentioned a possible drone attack in the Red Sea. The Pentagon didn’t say where the attack came from, but a group called the Houthi rebels from Yemen, supported by Iran, has been attacking ships in that area. They’ve been involved in conflicts with Israel and launched drones and missiles.
The attack began in Yemen, and it’s been happening for several hours. The U.S. government is expected to provide more information soon. The situation is part of a bigger problem, with U.S. forces being attacked multiple times in the Middle East. Former government official Leon Panetta suggests being more aggressive in responding to these attacks.
The conflict is not just about warships; even global shipping is affected. There was a truce in the Israel-Hamas war, but tensions are still high. Earlier, the Houthis seized a ship connected to Israel, and there have been other incidents involving U.S. warships.
In the past, the U.S. retaliated against Houthi attacks, showing that the situation has a history. The current attack raises concerns because it directly targets Americans, making the maritime conflict even more serious.
