0:39Now PlayingIranian-backed Houthi rebels claimed they targeted “two Israeli ships” in the Red Sea, part of a series of attacks against commercial vessels in international waters on Sunday during which the US said one of its destroyers shot down three drones.
The USS Carney responded to distress calls from three ships over the course of the day while patrolling in the Red Sea, two of which matched the names of carriers the Yemen-based Houthis said they targeted, US Central Command said in a statement. No casualties were reported and while each drone was headed toward the Carney, it wasn’t clear that the warship was the target, according to Centcom.
The US military blamed the Houthis, “fully enabled by Iran,” for the attacks, saying they “represent a direct threat to international commerce and maritime security.”
“The United States will consider all appropriate responses in full coordination with its international allies and partners,” Centcom said in the statement.
The attacks are the latest in a series against vessels since the rebels in Yemen issued a threat against ships with ties to Israel last month, calling them “legitimate targets.”
