"Houthi Attacks Escalate in Red Sea and Gulf of Aden"

Yemen's Houthi rebels targeted a U.S. warship, USS Carney, with a missile in the Gulf of Aden, prompting the ship to shoot down the projectile, while also striking a British merchant vessel, M/V Marlin Luanda, causing a major fire. The attacks mark an escalation in the ongoing confrontations at sea, with the U.S. conducting airstrikes against the Houthis to degrade their capabilities. The rebels have been targeting ships in the Red Sea and surrounding waters, disrupting global trade, and have now threatened to target American and British vessels as well.
