US warships come under attack in Red Sea as nearly two dozen incoming missiles and drones shot down

Three U.S. warships came under attack Friday off the coast of Yemen by Iran-backed Houthi rebels, who have disrupted commercial shipping in the region, but no one was hurt, officials said.

The USS Stockdale and USS Spruance, along with a littoral combat ship, the USS Indianapolis, were transiting the Bab al-Mandab Strait when the naval warships came under attack from a barrage of incoming ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones, the officials said.

"We did see a complex attack launched from the Houthis that ranged from cruise missiles and waves," Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters Friday. "My understanding is that those were either engaged in, shot down or failed."

U.S. forces have struck back at Houthi militants on multiple occasions for nearly a year. The rebel group has routinely attacked commercial and military vessels at sea over Israel's war against Hamas.

Good real world training for the ships, which was probably an easy task to stop whatever “projectiles” were launched at them.

The third proxy army raises its head. What a shock.

What is amazing is they manufactured strong enough rubber bands to launch their attacks on our ships….

The same kind of headline was reported last year and nothing came of it.

It bothers me that we tolerate military action like that against our military.

The "Commander in Chief" is sleeping on the job.
Our military is under the orders of that individual who is in la la land and sadly is not interested in US interests.

Remember that USSR is operating in that area and supplying "everyone."

They were probably US weapons supplied by Iran

Poor coral, fish, sea mammals, and other wildlife/sea life
Explosions not only destroy and damage what they blow up, they create significant underwater phenomena, which disrupt natural fish functioning, and sometimes even kill them, many miles away. Fear and physical disruptions interfere with reproduction, and can cause unpredictable behavior, which can be hazardous to humans. Underwater explosions also hazardous to human divers. And, of course, the noise and vibration from everything in, over, and near the water


Diving in the Red Sea was one of the best things I ever got to do, and the second best part about being stationed in the Sinai (first was visiting Bible sites, including Megiddo, Masada, Sodom/Gomorrah/Zoar/Lot's wife, Christmas Eve/Christmas in Bethlehem, Old City of Jerusalem, etc., etc., etc.
