American command: The Houthis tried to attack the destroyer USS Carney, which was escorting a ship with military cargo in the Red Sea
An American warship became the target of an attack by an unmanned aerial vehicle. The American press claims that the drone belonged to the Houthis and was launched from the coastal zone of Yemen.
At the time of the attack, the US Navy warship, the guided-missile destroyer USS Carney, was in the Red Sea, where it was sent “to support Israel.”
American sources claim that a KAS-04 attack drone, “made in Iran,” was approaching the destroyer. The drone did not reach the warship directly - it was shot down by the USS Carney ship's air defense system.
The information is confirmed by the US Central Command. It is reported that the destroyer was sailing in a group with the operational maritime support ship USNS Supply, as well as with an auxiliary vessel, on board which “was carrying military cargo.” It can be assumed that we are talking about weapons for Israel and that this particular ship was the real target of the drone attack. Although the American command claims that the destroyer was the target.
Earlier, Military Review reported that the Houthis threaten American and Israeli ships with “crossfire” when they pass in the waters near the Yemeni coast. By “crossfire”, presumably, we mean a simultaneous attack by several (at least two) drones, released from different points. In this case, we are still talking about one drone.
According to the US naval command, none of the US Navy ships were damaged.
