"US Navy Considers Naval Task Force in Red Sea After Houthi Militant Attack"

The US Navy destroyer USS Carney successfully shot down three drones launched by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen during ballistic missile attacks on three commercial ships in the Red Sea. The attacks, which took place in international waters, could potentially escalate the conflict in the region. The Houthis claimed responsibility for two of the attacks on the commercial ships, but did not mention the Navy ship. The USS Carney, part of the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier strike group, remained unharmed, while two of the commercial ships sustained damage.
