Houthis “attack US military destroyer with missiles and drones”

Yemen's Houthi rebels announced on the 5th that they had attacked a US military destroyer with missiles and drones.

Although the US military and other forces have been deployed to the Red Sea and are attacking Houthi strongholds, attacks on ships continue, with a long-term impact on global logistics.

Since November last year, Yemen's Houthi rebels have repeatedly attacked civilian ships around the Red Sea in solidarity with the Islamic group Hamas, which continues to fight Israel. In addition to sinking ships, they have also attacked American and British warships attacking Houthi strongholds.

Under these circumstances, a Houthi spokesperson posted on social media on the 5th, ``We conducted missile and drone attacks against two American destroyers in the Red Sea.''

Meanwhile, the U.S. Central Command also announced on the 5th that one anti-ship ballistic missile and three drones were fired at the guided-missile destroyer Kearney, which is deployed in the Red Sea, and that they were all intercepted. revealed that there had been an attack.

There was no damage to U.S. military vessels, and all attacks were carried out from areas controlled by the Houthis.

As the Houthis continue to attack ships around the Red Sea, which connects Asia and Europe, it is expected that many ships will be forced to make detours, raising concerns about the long-term impact on global logistics. .
