A US Navy warship operating in the Middle East intercepted multiple projectiles near the coast of Yemen, potentially targeting Israel. The missiles were fired by Iranian-backed Houthi militants, according to US officials. The USS Carney, an Arleigh Burke Class destroyer, successfully shot down the land attack cruise missiles. The Pentagon spokesperson stated that the missiles were launched from Yemen towards the north along the Red Sea. Israeli officials confirmed that a number of ballistic missiles were aimed at Israel and were intercepted by the USS Carney. The incident raises concerns about the escalating tensions in the region.
