Yemen's Houthis claim to have targeted a US warship and a vessel named "Destiny" in the Red Sea, aligning with their campaign of attacks to support Palestinians in Gaza. Houthis' military spokesman Yahya Sarea stated they aimed at the American destroyer "Maysun" with naval missiles, while targeting "Destiny" en route to the Israeli port of Eilat. Dates of the attacks were unspecified, and Reuters couldn't independently verify the claims. Continuous Houthi assaults in the Red Sea disrupt global shipping, prompting US and UK strikes on Houthi targets. Fears mount over wider Middle East destabilization amidst ongoing conflicts.
