"Escalating Houthi Attacks in Red Sea Prompt US and Denmark Response"

Houthi forces in Yemen claim to have launched a large-scale drone attack on US navy warships and a commercial ship in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, with the US Central Command attributing the attack to Iranian-backed Houthi forces and stating that 15 drones were shot down.

"U.S. Navy Officers Respond to Houthi Missile and Drone Attacks in Red Sea"

Officers aboard the USS Mason in the Red Sea face split-second decisions to defend against Houthi missile and drone attacks, with less than 15 seconds to assess and shoot down incoming threats. The Navy destroyer is part of a coalition protecting ships in the region, facing a new threat of anti-ship ballistic missiles. The crew remains on high alert, with the commander emphasizing the need for precision in defending the ship and its personnel. Recent joint U.S.-U.K. strikes targeted Houthi facilities in Yemen, as the militants vow to continue their attacks until Israel halts its military campaign against Hamas.

"Houthi Threat Escalates: US Forces Launch Self-Defense Strikes in Red Sea"

US forces conducted a self-defense strike against Houthi forces in the Red Sea, targeting four anti-ship cruise missiles prepared to launch against ships. The strike, supported by several other countries, aims to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stated that the strikes are intended to degrade the capabilities of the Iranian-backed Houthi militia and send a clear message that further consequences will follow if they do not end their illegal attacks on international shipping and naval vessels.

"U.S. Navy's Cat-and-Mouse Game with Houthi Forces Amid Red Sea Ship Surge"

The USS Eisenhower, along with other U.S. warships, conducted strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen to safeguard shipping in the Red Sea, following Houthi attacks on cargo ships. The U.S. and U.K. forces targeted 36 Houthi locations, aiming to degrade Houthi forces and protect commercial shipping. Despite the high morale among crew members, experts warn that it's a challenging task to eliminate all the ballistic missiles and drones supplied by Iran to the Houthi forces. The ongoing cat-and-mouse game with the Houthis suggests that more engagements are likely for the U.S. carrier and its crew.

Red Sea Attack Prompts US Warship Response

The USS Carney, a US warship, responded to a distress call from the merchant vessel Swan Atlantic after it was attacked by "multiple projectiles" in the southern Red Sea. The attack, which follows a series of recent attacks by Houthi forces on commercial vessels in the region, occurred while US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is in the area for meetings with Israeli officials. Over the weekend, the US Navy ship shot down 14 drones launched from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.
