Yemen&#8217;s Houthi rebels \u2062later claimed responsibility for the attacks on two ships, which they said were linked to Israel. However, they\u2063 did not acknowledge targeting a U.S. Navy vessel.<\/p>\n<p>This attack\u200d potentially marks a significant escalation \u200bin a series of maritime attacks in the Middle \u200dEast that are connected to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re \u200baware of reports regarding attacks on the USS Carney and commercial vessels in the Red Sea and will provide information as \u200dit becomes available,&#8221; the Pentagon told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The USS Carney\u2063 is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, but it remains unclear what damage, if any, the vessels sustained in the attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The British military had earlier reported a suspected \u200cdrone attack and\u2062 explosions in the Red \u2062Sea, without providing further details.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The Pentagon did not identify the source of the fire. However, Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree claimed responsibility for the\u200c attacks, stating that the first vessel was hit by a missile and the second by a drone in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which\u2063 connects the Red Sea to the\u200d Gulf of Aden.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Saree accused the ships of ignoring warnings from Houthi\u2064 officials\u200d prior to the attack, but he did not mention any U.S. warship being involved.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The Yemeni \u200barmed forces continue to prevent Israeli ships from navigating the\u200c Red Sea (and Gulf of Aden) until\u2064 the \u200cIsraeli aggression against our steadfast brothers in the Gaza Strip stops,&#8221; Saree said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Yemeni armed forces renew their warning \u200dto\u200b all\u2063 Israeli ships or those\u200d associated with Israelis that they will become a legitimate target \u200bif they violate what is stated in\u2063 this statement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Saree identified the first vessel attacked as the Bahamas-flagged bulk carrier \u2063Unity Explorer, which is owned by a British firm that includes Dan David Ungar, an Israeli officer. The second vessel was \u200ba Panamanian-flagged container ship called Number 9, linked to Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli media identified Ungar as the son of Israeli shipping billionaire Abraham &#8220;Rami&#8221; Ungar.<\/p>\n<p>The Houthis have been launching a series of attacks on vessels in the Red Sea, as well as targeting Israel with \u2063drones and \u2064missiles during the war.<\/p>\n<p>According to anonymous U.S. officials, the attack began in Sanaa, Yemen, around 10 a.m. and lasted for up \u2063to five hours. The \u2062USS Carney intercepted at least one drone during the attack.<\/p>\n<p>As the Israel-Hamas war threatens to escalate\u2063 into \u2063a wider regional\u200c conflict, global\u2063 shipping has increasingly become a target. The collapse of a truce and the resumption of Israeli airstrikes and ground \u2062offensive have raised the risk of seaborne attacks resuming.<\/p>\n<p>In November, the Houthis seized a\u2062 vehicle transport ship linked to Israel in the Red Sea. The rebels still hold the vessel\u200c near the port city of Hodeida. Last week, missiles\u200d landed near another U.S. warship after it assisted a vessel linked to Israel that had been briefly seized \u200bby gunmen.<\/p>\n<p>This\u200b marks \u2064a significant development as the Houthis \u200chad not directly targeted Americans for some time. In 2016, the U.S. retaliated against\u2062 missile attacks on its Navy ships by launching Tomahawk cruise missiles that destroyed\u200d three \u200ccoastal radar sites \u200cin Houthi-controlled territory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: italic\">The Western Journal has reviewed this \u200cAssociated Press story and may have altered it\u200d prior to publication to ensure that it meets our editorial standards.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-us-burke-class-destroyer-attacked-sea-pentagon-says\/\">US Burke-Class Destroyer Attacked at Sea, Pentagon Says<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What\u200d are\u2064 the potential implications of the attack on \u200cthe USS Carney and\u2064 commercial ships \u200bfor the United States and the Middle East \u2064as a whole<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Sh\u200b company and was\u2063 carrying \u200dlivestock.
