Israel Hamas war: American warship and other vessels under attack in Red Sea
The Pentagon confirmed that several vessels had come under attack after the UK reported alleged Yemenese drone activity in the area.
The Pentagon confirmed that it was aware of reports that multiple commercial ships and an American Arleigh Burke-class destroyer had come under attack.
They said: "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."
Earlier the UK's Maritime Trade Operations Agency had warned there were reports of drone activity originating from Yemen and reports of a possible attack in the Bab al-Mandab strait.
Reuters has reported that the Houthi militant group has claimed to have launched a naval missile and an armed drone at two Israeli ships. They said the two ships were called the Unity Explorer and Number Nine which were targeted after they both rejected warnings from their navy.
