"US Navy Thwarts Yemeni Drone Attacks in Red Sea"

A US Navy ship has successfully shot down 14 drones launched from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, with no damage or injuries reported. The Houthi rebels, funded and trained by Iran, have been using drones and missiles to repeatedly attack commercial ships in the region. This is the latest in a series of drone attacks, with previous incidents involving the USS Carney and USS Thomas Hudner. The US has responded by launching strikes on weapons depots and storage facilities used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its proxy militia groups. The Houthi rebels have been engaged in a civil war against a Saudi Arabia-backed coalition since 2014 and have recently shown support for the Palestinians.
