An American warship and commercial ships are attacked in the Red Sea

The Pentagon announced that an American warship and several commercial ships were attacked in the Red Sea on Sunday.

The Pentagon said: “We are aware of reports regarding attacks on the American destroyer (USS Carney) and commercial ships in the Red Sea, and we will provide information when it becomes available.”


The Pentagon did not specify where it was believed the fire came from. The American announcement indicates an escalation in a series of naval attacks in the Middle East, linked to the violent Israeli escalation in the Gaza Strip.


The British army had previously spoken about a drone attack and explosions in the Red Sea, without going into details.


The Red Sea witnessed a series of Houthi attacks on ships, as well as the launching of drones and missiles targeting Israel, which is waging war on the Gaza Strip.
