"Houthi Rebels Escalate Conflict with US in Red Sea"

Yemen's Houthi rebels fired a missile at the USS Carney, a US warship patrolling the Gulf of Aden, marking a significant escalation in the conflict. The attack represents the first direct targeting of a US warship by the Houthis and comes amid heightened tensions in the region. The US military successfully shot down the missile, and there were no reported injuries or damage. The Houthi rebels have been targeting ships in the Red Sea, disrupting global trade, and have threatened to target American and British ships as well. The situation reflects the most significant confrontation at sea the US Navy has faced in the Middle East in decades.
