DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Commercial ships have come under attack by drones and missiles in the Red Sea and a U.S. warship there opened fire in self-defense as part of an hourslong assault claimed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. That’s according to comments from multiple officials on Sunday.
The attack potentially marked a major escalation in a series of maritime attacks in the Mideast linked to the Israel-Hamas war. Multiple vessels found themselves in the crosshairs of a single Houthi assault for the first time in the conflict.
