Pentagon confirms Yemeni Houthi attack on US Navy destroyer and cargo ships in Red Sea

Yemen's Houthis attacked several commercial cargo ships in the Red Sea and also attacked an American warship. This was reported by The Associated Press with reference to the Pentagon.

According to the American agency, Yemen's Houthis from the Ansar Allah paramilitary wing on Sunday, December 3, attacked several cargo ships flying the flags of Great Britain and the Bahamas, as well as a US Navy destroyer, which allegedly intercepted one drone. It is not yet clear how the attack was carried out, since it is reported that both missiles were launched and drones. The Pentagon has not yet made any comments.

We are aware of attacks on the destroyer USS Carney and commercial vessels in the Red Sea and will provide information as it becomes available.

- said the US military department, adding that these attacks indicate a serious danger to shipping in the Red Sea against the backdrop of the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Al-Arabiya and Al-Hadath TV channels confirmed the attack on the ships. According to them, the attack took place in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which connects the Red Sea in the south with the Gulf of Aden. The data again varies, talking about rocket fire and drone attacks. However, there is no information about possible damage to cargo ships. US and Israeli warships participated in repelling the attack. Earlier, the British reported the activation of Yemeni drones in the Bab al-Mandab Strait area, as well as possible explosions, but did not provide details.

The Houthis promised back in November to attack all ships in the Red Sea that belong to Israel or are somehow connected to the Jewish state in response to the destruction of the Gaza Strip.

As they say, you can’t shoot at yourself and no one will shoot at you

[Ilya-spb]

And the Houthis are great! Don't be afraid of the Yankees! And enemy ships are trying to sink them, without any diplomacy...

It is necessary to use their experience in the Black Sea to suppress trade with Bandera’s supporters.

[Black_Vatnik]

Apparently, they are the only people in that region whose testicles are much heavier than pretentious speeches, warnings and threats.

[dementor873]

Like in a fight, some babble and babble, while others are silent and just hit right away.

Yeah..) And I like it.)

[Andrey1978]

Not only in Chernoye, the Baltic and Barents Sea are also waiting for heroes

[belovvladimir]

But the Houthis simply don’t know how to draw red lines, which is why they don’t care about the Americans!

[While I'm sick]

Experience? Even 15-year-old Crimeans can launch a UAV and hit an unarmed enemy ship. But who will allow them? Or the police will get involved. Or worse, they will be labeled bad. The enemy neighbor is not trying to use the Russians. in sabotage, ideological, including against my-our country

[Igor K]

Organize a combat wing of the Houthis in the Black Sea and let them peck NATO chickens.

[megadeth]

Oh, I wish I could help them, at least with the old coastal complexes...

[knn54]

What the article is about is nothing.

[abrakadabre]

They lack quality UAVs. Oh, that's not enough. And high-quality torpedo production too.

[While I'm sick]

Yes, any kind of UAVs. Burke will eat anything. And coupled with Avax.

[Revan Rick]

Yes, the Yankees have ships from a parallel universe of the 31st century, immortal, invulnerable) hahaha

[While I'm sick]

Don’t pray for nonsense. The year is 2024. Planet Earth. How many of Yusov’s combat tanks have been damaged and destroyed. As? And how many of our Russian ones? I’m so offended that my eyes are wet. They’ve been building missile boats for 10 years. Bang and it’s gone. Minus the people’s labor and money. and this boat seems to be able to fight off both air defense and water UAVs

[poquello]

How many of Yusov's combat tanks were damaged and destroyed?

The Vatican’s warships weren’t sunk either, isn’t that a good reason? with proper provision of the enemy with means of destruction, they will be an excellent food for the fish

[While I'm sick]

Grown people. But they downvoted it as if it wasn’t so. There is someone who will convincingly prove that I’m wrong. I remember many nicknames from my previous account. I even remember how the sailor Mina was still published. I forget his full name.

[alexoff]

So let him eat, at some point the air defense missiles will run out, and they will watch from the Avaks as he drowns.

[While I'm sick]

I’m just for it. Do the attackers have such a number of weapons and a certificate to use? So far not a single NATO combat weapon has been damaged

[While I'm sick]

I’m just for it. Do the attackers have such a number of weapons and a certificate to use? So far not a single NATO combat weapon has been damaged and one by one they are trying to walk and E2 is probably on constant patrol from the Aviks

[Ilya-spb]

Right! We need to give Zircons to the Houthis. For testing on Americans.

[While I'm sick]

Have they already made it for themselves for Admirals and Ashes? To give to the Arabs. In my opinion, the Mediterranean has been blocked for our gifts

[While I'm sick]

I don’t understand. Am I wrong or can I just pour in on someone supposedly new without explanation. He’s not knowledgeable. So what?

[Revolver]

Quote: While I'm sick

you can pour a new one without explanation

No, it’s just that there have been a lot of Arabophiles here lately.

[While I'm sick]

This will prevent them from hitting the Anglo-Saxons

Maybe anchor mines? The strait does not seem to be deep and there should be enough chains to reach the bottom.

[Captain Pushkin]

The strait doesn't seem to be deep

Fairway depth 182 meters

[Metallurg_2]

It was the non-commissioned officer's widow who flogged herself.

[KZAKVO32923]

It was still a shooting!

[Thrifty]

They need unmanned boats, and then it is possible to inflict significant damage on the destroyer.

[abrakadabre]

Ideally with the labels "Made in Britashin" or "Made in Ukraine"

The Americans are stupid, they keep the plane flying overhead, they need jammers and a properly planned operation, but IMHO neither the Houthis nor Iran need this - they need to scare them in order to put pressure on Israel

These parrots are tolerated until the cost of damage from their actions approaches the cost of the operation to denazify them.

that’s why they don’t strive for maximum damage, they shoot as best they can

[Ivar Ravi]

The Houthis' words and deeds do not diverge; for this alone they are worthy of respect

[tralflot1832]

Let's wait. Today is Sunday, specialized journalists are drinking all over the world. The tabloid journalists are on their keyboards now. I said that there is nothing serious with the container ship GMA CGM SYMI, and so it is, rushing at 16 knots in the straits.

[tralflot1832]

To avoid misunderstandings, I’m talking about this container ship.

[Bingo]

It is not clear what kind of drone could theoretically damage a destroyer? Mavik go? Or Lancet?

[Jacques sekavar]

The Houthis are not afraid to attack US ships, but the Russian Federation is afraid to attack even border violators and instead sink them.

[Simple]

Yes, it was calmer in a bipolar world.
And now there may not be enough hegemon for everyone.

[digger]

Well, if this little guy was hit by a British ship, then everything is fine....a slight fright...

[tralflot1832]

You’ve already disgraced yourself, you won’t be able to remove your photo. There is such a function on the Internet, you can find it by photo.

[kakvastam]

Between attacked и injured or destroyed - a huge distance.
Some commentators tirelessly are attacking enemy verbally, but it is unlikely that he suffers from this.

[Alexey Koshkarov]

It would be necessary to provide the Houthis with more effective weapons, and even captured ones - made in NATO

[FoBoss_VM]

Here . Even the Houthis perfectly attack US Navy destroyers, and no one declares war on them and wipes them off the face of the Earth. And our Kremlin cronies are afraid to shoot down American rippers and other bullshit that pose a direct threat to our troops. Everyone is thinking, well, what will our dear partners think, what will they say. Aren't you ashamed?

[Sibiryak70region]

They don’t bullshit like ours and don’t make up excuses about the threat of provoking a clash with NATO, etc. NATO has been at war with you for almost two years, and you are still afraid of a collision. Respect guys
