Three US Navy destroyers targeted in ‘complex’ missile and drone attack by Yemeni Houthis

Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched a sophisticated missile and drone assault on three American Navy destroyers in the Red Sea, as confirmed by the Pentagon on Friday.

Earlier, the Houthis had declared they struck US warships en route to Israel.

Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh confirmed the attack, clarifying that no damage was sustained by the ships. “We witnessed a complex attack involving both cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs),” she said. “These threats were intercepted or failed to hit any of our vessels.”

The Houthis, according to their media outlet al-Masirah, claimed they targeted three US destroyers, launching 23 ballistic and cruise missiles along with drones. The group stated the attack was part of their broader support for Palestinian resistance, with simultaneous strikes aimed at Israeli targets.

The Houthi spokesman said these type of operations would continue until Israel ceased its offensives in Gaza and Lebanon. The group has been conducting attacks on vessels in the Red Sea since October, citing solidarity with Palestinians as the driving force behind their actions.

In response to these escalating threats, the US and its allies have bolstered naval presence in the region.

Tensions have risen in the region, particularly following heightened clashes between Hezbollah and Israel. Israel’s intensified airstrikes on Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah, have been a focal point of regional conflict, adding to the Houthis’ list of demands for an end to Israeli aggression against Lebanon.

According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, over 1,300 people have lost their lives in Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon as of Friday.

  1. No doubt the Iranian and Russian Subs currently shadowing the fleet are augmented by satellite-based missiles.
    The current attacks are being carried out with low-cost weapons.
    Once the higher grade weapons are employed against the fleet, they’re done….! That includes EMP weaponry that has already been proven by the Russians in the Black Sea…

    • It’s a pity that the Russians feel that supporting terrorism will help their cause just as allying with NAZI Germany in WW2 helped their cause. Both are stains on Russia that only a very lengthy amount of time passing will fade but not erase.

      • The Russians were not aligned with the Nazis during World War Two…they were Alliies and bore the brunt of World War Two with 26.6 MILLION dead.
        Germany’s Von Ribbentrop went to Russia where both he and Molotov signed a ‘Non-Aggression Pact’ that both nations (Russia & Germany) would NOT attack each other in August 1939.
        This was similar to the previous time a year before that British PM Neville Chamberlain met with Hitler in 1938 and returned back to Great Britain with the signed document that was later rendered null and void as a result of ‘Operation Barbarossa’, Hitler’s invasion of Russia in the summer of 1941.
        Neither Agreement was upheld by the Nations that signed their Non-Aggression Pacts…similar to today’s Minsk Agreement that was violated by the Ukraine, NATO and the Zionist-controlled ‘Western Nations’ that the Ukraine would not allow weapons that would be able to attack Moscow on Ukrainian soil, that the Ukraine would stay OUT of NATO, and no military exercises were to be carried out. The Minsk Agreement complications and the related violations by the Zionist West are below;

        The U.S. sent J3w#$$ Victoria Nuland to Ukraine in 2014 where plans were made to build-up military strength in order to use the same to invade Russia, and re-impose Talmudic Bolshevism (which killed 65 million Russians from 1914-1990…) and reclaim the territories as New Khazaria.

        So no- Russia was never aligned with Germany, despite the fact that both governments were Socialist-based.
