The Pentagon confirmed an attack on a U.S. warship and commercial vessels in the Red Sea, marking an escalation in the series of maritime attacks linked to the Israel-Hamas war.

The USS Carney, a destroyer, has been targeted by Iran-backed Houthi rebels, with an update expected from the United States Central Command.

“We’re aware of reports regarding attacks on the USS Carney and commercial vessels in the Red Sea and will provide information as it becomes available.”

The British military reported suspected drone attacks and explosions in the Red Sea, and the U.S. official noted that attacks on U.S. forces in the Middle East have increased.

U.S. forces in the Middle East have been attacked at least 75 times since last month, which does not include attacks on U.S. warships at sea.

The Houthis terrorist group in Yemen seized a vehicle transport ship linked to Israel in the Red Sea.

The Houthis have reportedly not directly targeted the Americans for some time, but this appears to be changing drastically under the Biden administration.
