"U.S. Vessel Targeted in Houthi Attack off Yemen Coast"

A U.S.-owned ship, M/V Maersk Detroit, came under Houthi attack in the Gulf of Aden, with three anti-ship ballistic missiles fired, one hitting the ocean and two intercepted by a U.S. Navy destroyer. No injuries or damage were reported, and the ship's operator, Maersk Line, has suspended transit through the region. The Houthis claim to have achieved "a direct hit" on a U.S. vessel, while the U.S. has launched its ninth attack on the Houthis in two weeks, aiming to degrade their ability to target commercial ships. The conflict stems from the war Israel has been waging against Hamas, with the Houthis targeting commercial vessels transiting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
