A US warship shot down “multiple one-way attack drones” launched from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen on Thursday morning local time, according to the United States Central Command.

In a statement, CENTCOM said the USS Thomas Hudner shot the drones down while it was on patrol in the Red Sea, adding that there had been no damage to the ship or injuries sustained by the crew.

Tensions have increased in the Red Sea region since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, with Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claiming to have fired ballistic missiles and drones toward Israel.

On Sunday, the Galaxy Leader cargo ship was hijacked by the Houthis in the Red Sea with about 25 crew members on board.

    A sane comment that got some people butthurt for some reason. No one is attacking us. We are fucking with people around the world because the shareholders of the military industrial complex need constant growth. They’re losing money without war. They’ve bought and paid for every politician (except for a few). America’s economy will collapse without war. Our politicians fucked this country so bad that it won’t survive without wars. No “good allys” no “peace keepers” none of that bullshit. Every empire collapses, and our turn will come. Oh, they don’t give a single fuck about our own citizens. They can live on the streets, it’s ok. They’re “addicted to drugs” and can’t “pull themselves by their bootstraps” .
