US, UK, French Military Shoot Down Houthi Drones after Attack on Carrier, Warships
US, French and British forces downed dozens of drones in the Red Sea area overnight and on Saturday after Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi militias targeted bulk carrier Propel Fortune and US destroyers in the region, the US military said in a statement. The Houthis have been attacking ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since November in what they say is a campaign of solidarity with Palestinians during Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza.
