Houthis Claim Attacks on US Warship and Commercial Vessel in Red Sea

Houthi rebels state their actions aim to pressure Israel amid ongoing conflict with Hamas, disrupting global shipping routes.

Houthis claim to have targeted the USS Mason and a commercial ship named Destiny.
The attacks are part of a broader campaign to show solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
Months of Houthi attacks have led to rerouting of global shipping, increasing costs.
The US and UK have responded with strikes against Houthi targets in the region.
There is no independent verification of the Houthi claims of successful hits.
