Houthi Rebels Target US Ships in Red Sea Escalation

Yemen's Houthi rebels fired missiles at a US warship in the Red Sea, marking their first attack after American-led strikes in Yemen. The rebels consider US and British ships "legitimate targets" and have threatened maritime security. The US cargo ship sustained minor damage, and a missile was also fired in the direction of a US destroyer, which was intercepted. The US and UK launched airstrikes against the rebels, hitting multiple targets. The rising tensions in the region have sparked fears of the war in Gaza spilling over.
