Warship Attack 3d Mod Apk

The Houthis have launched a series of attacks on vessels in the Red Sea, as well as launching drones and missiles targeting Israel. Analysts suggest the Houthis hope to shore up waning popular support after years of civil war in Yemen between it and Saudi-backed forces.

The U.S. has stopped short of saying its Navy ships were targeted, but has said Houthi drones have headed toward the ships and have been shot down in self-defense. Washington so far has declined to directly respond to the attacks, as has Israel, whose military continues to try to describe the ships as not having links to their country.

In November, the Houthis seized a vehicle transport ship also linked to Israel in the Red Sea off Yemen. The rebels still hold the vessel near the port city of Hodeida. Missiles also landed near another U.S. warship last week after it assisted a vessel linked to Israel that had briefly been seized by gunmen. Separately, a container ship owned by an Israeli billionaire recently came under attack by a suspected Iranian drone in the Indian Ocean.

An American warship and multiple commercial ships came under attack Sunday in the Red Sea, the Pentagon said. Yemen's Houthi rebels later claimed attacks on two ships they described as being linked to Israel, but did not acknowledge targeting a U.S. Navy vessel.

The Pentagon did not identify where it believed the fire came from. However, Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree claimed the attacks, saying the first vessel was hit by a missile and the second by a drone while in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait that links the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. He described the ships as allegedly ignoring warnings from Houthi officials prior to the attack.

Saree identified the first vessel attacked as the Bahamas-flagged bulk carrier Unity Explorer, which is owned by a British firm that includes Dan David Ungar, who lives in Israel, as one of its officers. The second was a Panamanian-flagged container ship called Number 9, which is linked to Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement. Managers for the two vessels could not be immediately reached for comment.

A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, said the attack began about 10 a.m. in Sanaa, Yemen, and had gone on for as much as five hours. Another U.S. official who similarly spoke on condition of anonymity for the same reason said the Carney had intercepted at least one drone during the attack.

Earlier in November, the Houthis seized a vehicle transport ship also linked to Israel in the Red Sea off Yemen. The rebels still hold the vessel near the port city of Hodeida. Missiles also landed near another U.S. warship last week after it assisted a vessel linked to Israel that had briefly been seized by gunmen.

The Novocherkassk is a large landing ship that can be used for transporting soldiers as well as tanks and armoured vehicles, and Ukraine said it attacked the vessel at a base in the southern coast of Russian-occupied Crimea. Kyiv said it suspected the ship was transporting Iranian-made explosive drones that Russia has used regularly to attack Ukraine since it began its full scale invasion in February 2022.

Sergei Markov, a former Kremlin adviser, said on Telegram it was obvious that Russia would not release detailed information about the attack at a time of war, but that it needed to do more to protect its assets in Crimea.

A U.S. Navy warship shot down drones fired at various commercial vessels in the Red Sea on Sunday, officials said, with at least one commercial ship encountering a missile fired in its direction. Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthi military claimed responsibility for targeting two Israeli ships in that area with drones as well as missile strikes, driving concerns over the rebel group's involvement in the Israel-Hamas war.

"Today, there were four attacks against three separate commercial vessels operating in international waters in the southern Red Sea. These three vessels are connected to 14 separate nations," U.S. Central Command confirmed in a statement Sunday.

The American warship seems to have initially shot down a drone from Yemen that was fired in its direction in the Red Sea, with a missile subsequently fired in the direction of the Unity Explorer, a commercial ship in the area, according to an official at the U.S. Department of Defense. The USS Carney shot down another drone fired in its direction as it moved to assist the Unity Explorer, the official said, noting at the time that an exchange of fire was ongoing.

But a preliminary assessment indicated that the USS Carney, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, was not targeted nor was it attacked by the oncoming drone and missile strikes in the Red Sea, another U.S. official said later on Sunday. The warship encountered those strikes while it was responding to the distress calls of commercial ships in the region, which were fired upon, according to the official.

Yahya Sarea, a spokesperson for the Houthi military, Yemen's armed rebel group, claimed responsibility for attacks on two Israeli ships in the Red Sea on Sunday. "The targeting operation came after the two ships rejected warning messages from the Yemeni naval forces," Sarea wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

Video released by Houthi rebels around two weeks ago showed armed fighters seizing a cargo ship in the Red Sea, after the group claimed responsibility for multiple missile and drone attacks aimed at Israel earlier in November. That claim came on the heels of an announcement by the Israel Defense Forces saying soldiers had intercepted a strike coming from Yemen. And, in the weeks following the attack on Israel by Hamas militants on Oct. 7 and Israel's declaration of war on the Palestinian group, the Pentagon said a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Red Sea had shot down cruise missiles and drones launched by the Houthis, which may have been aimed at Israel.

The attacks marked an escalation in a series of maritime attacks in the Mideast linked to the Israel-Hamas war, as multiple vessels found themselves in the crosshairs of a single Houthi assault for the first time in the conflict.

In a statement, U.S. Central Command said the attacks "represent a direct threat to international commerce and maritime security. They have jeopardized the lives of international crews representing multiple countries around the world." It said the three commercial ships and their crews are connected to 14 countries.

"We also have every reason to believe that these attacks, while launched by the Houthis in Yemen, are fully enabled by Iran," Central Command said, adding that the U.S. will consider "all appropriate responses."

Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree claimed Sunday's attacks, saying the first vessel was hit by a missile and the second by a drone while in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which links the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. Saree did not mention any U.S. warship being involved in the attack.

The Houthis have launched a series of attacks on vessels in the Red Sea, as well as launching drones and missiles targeting Israel. The U.S. has stopped short of saying its Navy ships were targeted, but has said Houthi drones have headed toward the ships and have been shot down in self defense.

Three commercial ships came under attack in the international waters of the Red Sea on Sunday, U.S. military officials said -- as Houthi militants claimed responsibility for the latest incursion in the Middle East, where tensions have been high since the Israel-Hamas war began.

\"These attacks represent a direct threat to international commerce and maritime security,\" U.S. Central Command said in a statement. \"They have jeopardized the lives of international crews representing multiple countries around the world.\"

\"We ... have every reason to believe that these attacks, while launched by the Houthis in Yemen, are fully enabled by Iran. The United States will consider all appropriate responses in full coordination with its international allies and partners,\" CENTCOM said.

U.S. forces have been repeatedly attacked by Iran-backed proxies in Iraq and Syria since the Israel-Hamas war began, according to the Pentagon, and American forces have carried out multiple retaliatory strikes as a result.

The missile attacks were carried out over the course of more than seven hours on Sunday, according to CENTCOM: first on the Unity Explorer, though that missile detonated nearby; and a second time on the Unity Explorer, which took \"minor damage\" from that strike. The Number 9 was then struck by a missile and about an hour later, the Sophie II was also hit.

The Houthis will \"continue to prevent Israeli ships from navigating the Red and Arab Seas until the Israeli aggression against our steadfast brothers in the Gaza Strip stops,\" according to their statement, referring to the conflict with Hamas after its terror attack.

Ukraine's latest successful strike against the Russian Black Sea Fleet speaks to the "trap" Moscow's warships find themselves in, one Ukrainian parliamentary adviser has said, as the Kremlin counts the cost of a cruise missile attack on the Crimean port of Feodosia.

"After the majority of the large landing craft are disabled, the enemy can launch another attack on the Crimean bridge, as well as systematize attacks on the crossings in the north of Crimea. After this, the enemy will publicly announce the 'blockade of Crimea,' which will create an argument for increasing the supply of long-range weapons."

Stupak said any hope of a full blockade of the occupied peninsula is a "fairytale" given Ukraine has no conventional navy. It instead relies on long-range missiles and naval drones to attack Russian ships.

A U.S. naval ship shot down several Houthi drones after commercial vessels were attacked in the Red Sea, the Pentagon reported on Sunday, the same day Yemen's Houthi rebel group said it had targeted two Israeli ships there.

The Iran-backed Houthi group said in a statement on Sunday it had launched missile and drone attacks against two ships it believed were connected to Israel in the Red Sea's Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, also known as the Gate of Tears. 2351a5e196
