The Houthis have launched a large-scale attack on U.S. warships in the Red Sea, marking a significant escalation in their military operations against both Israel and the U.S. The attack involved 23 missiles and a drone targeting three U.S. warships, including the Arleigh Burke-Class Guided-Missile Destroyers USS Stockdale, as they passed through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. U.S. officials confirmed that the missiles and drones were intercepted, and all vessels remained unharmed. The U.S. Department of Defense has acknowledged the incident and indicated that the U.S. military responded with strikes against the Houthis. US security sources told CNN about the interception.
