Yemen's Houthi movement said it carried out an attack on a U.S. destroyer in the Red Sea, using missiles and drones. The claim comes amid a broader campaign of strikes that has repeatedly disrupted shipping routes in one of the world's most important maritime corridors.

The latest allegation marks another step in the group's confrontation with international naval and commercial traffic. Such attacks have raised fears of wider regional spillover and increased pressure on shipping companies already facing risks in the area.

Reuters reported the claim as part of an ongoing pattern of Houthi-linked operations in the Red Sea. As with previous statements by the group, the attack has not been independently verified in the initial report, and details about damage or casualties were not immediately clear.

The Red Sea remains a flashpoint as armed groups continue to target vessels tied to perceived adversaries, threatening civilian trade routes and global supply chains.
