US Warship Thwarts Yemeni Missile Attack on Israel in Nine-Hour Battle

A US warship, the USS Carney, intercepted 15 drones and four cruise missiles fired by Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen, which were reportedly headed for Israel. The attack lasted for nine hours and occurred near the Yemeni coast. The Defense Department initially reported that the warship had taken down several drones and three land attack cruise missiles before revealing the full extent of the attack. This incident marks the fourth in three days of increased aggression against US troops in the region, as tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East.
