Incident involving US warship intercepting missiles near Yemen lasted 9 hours

According to a U.S. official with knowledge of the situation, a U.S. warship engaged in intercepting drones and missiles off the coast of Yemen on Thursday faced a more extensive and prolonged onslaught than initially reported.

Over a span of 9 hours, the USS Carney, an Arleigh-Burke class destroyer that recently transited the Suez Canal southbound, successfully shot down 4 cruise missiles and 15 drones.

These intercepted missiles and drones, initially heading north along the Red Sea, left little doubt that they were directed towards Israel, as assessed by the official, providing a clearer understanding than the initial Pentagon assessment, CNN reported.
