Houthi Rebels Attack U.S. Naval Vessel And Commercial Ships In Red Sea

There aren't much more details than in my headline. The Pentagon has confirmed that the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Carney and several commercial vessels had been attacked in Red Sea. The attack reportedly began about 10 a.m. in Sanaa, Yemen, and had gone on for at least 5 hours. Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility. This follows an incident a week earlier where missiles were apparently fired toward a U.S. destroyer, the U.S.S. Mason, after it had responded to a distress call from a tanker carrying phosphoric acid which was the subject of a hijacking attempt.

    1. When you read the articles and realize that the closest that the Houthi missiles were striking was nearly 20 miles from the intended target, the surest way to know if it was a "false-flag" attack is if the missile was able to actually strike its target.
