SANAA: An American destroyer shot down multiple drones on Sunday while assisting commercial ships in the Red Sea that were targeted by attacks from Yemen, the United States Central Command (Centcom) said.

U.S. defensive actions against Houthi attacks in the Red Sea have led to a series of misleading stories.

The Defence Secretary said the UK is committed to ensuring ‘maritime security’ and ‘regional stability’ after the drone and missile strike.

In a striking escalation of maritime hostilities, Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, launched a coordinated assault with ballistic missiles and drones on commercial vessels in the Red Sea, prompting a robust defensive response from the USS Carney.

A series of escalating clashes between U.S. troops and Houthi rebel forces adds even more fuel to an already combustible powder keg in the Middle East, with analysts warning that the Iran-backed militant movement in Yemen is that most dangerous of adversaries -- an unpredictable force with little to lose and no particular stake in stability in one of the world's most dangerous regions.

Rebels in Yemen have been firing missiles near American ships in recent months, with the latest attack possibly heightening tensions in the Middle East.

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a series of attacks on vessels in the Red Sea, as well as launching drones and missiles targeting Israel as it wages war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
