US destroyer in the Red Sea shoots down 14 drones fired from Yemen
Centcom stated that "partners in the Red Sea region" had been "warned of the threat".
Since the beginning of the war between Israel and the radical Islamic Hamas, the Iran-affiliated Houthi militia in Yemen has repeatedly fired drones and missiles at Israel and attacked ships in the Red Sea.
Due to the ongoing attacks, two other shipping companies, the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) and CMA CGM, announced that they would no longer sail through the strait between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. On Friday, the German shipping company Hapag-Lloyd and the Danish shipping company Maersk had already announced their intention to suspend their voyages through the Red Sea for the time being.
