The US military said missile strikes hit 3 ships in the Red Sea as its destroyer USS Carney intercepted armed drones, calling it escalation tied to the Israel-Hamas war. US Central Command asserted the assaults "represent a direct threat to international commerce and maritime security." It stated the raids have "jeopardized the lives of international crews", adding: "We have every reason to believe...these attacks, while launched by the Houthis in Yemen, are fully enabled by Iran." Officials indicated the US would weigh "all appropriate responses" after its naval ship shot down UAVs endangering vessels following reported strikes in volatile regional waters roiled by attempts to leverage the conflict.
