Missiles Fired At Navy Warship From Yemen

Missiles were launched at a U.S. Navy warship, the USS Mason, from a rebel-controlled area in Yemen on Sunday. The incident occurred as the warship responded to a distress call from a commercial tanker in the Gulf of Aden. The tanker reported being under attack by an unidentified entity. The missile launch followed the USS Mason’s pursuit of five armed individuals who had fled the tanker. The U.S. Central Command stated that the missiles landed approximately ten nautical miles from the ships. This incident is part of a series of attacks on U.S. entities in the region amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
