Hours after the Houthis in Yemen announced on Tuesday that they had attacked two U.S. destroyers in the Red Sea, the U.S. Defense Department confirmed the attack and said that it had been thwarted. According to Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder, the ships were attacked by at least eight explosive drones, five anti-ship ballistic missiles and three anti-ship cruise missiles, which were "defeated," he said. In the Houthis' announcement earlier, they claimed that they also attacked the U.S. aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea with several cruise missiles and UAVs.
