One of the officials said the missiles were fired by Iranian-backed Houthi militants, who are engaged in an ongoing conflict in Yemen. Approximately 2-3 missiles were intercepted, according to the second official.
Later Thursday Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder confirmed that the USS Carney shot down three land attack missiles as well as several drones that were launched by Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen.
It sounds more like the Houthis were shooting at Yemen, not at the US Ship as the original article states.
"We cannot say for certain what these drones and missiles were targeting, but they were launched from Yemen and heading north along the Red Sea, potentially towards targets in Israel," Ryder told reporters at the Pentagon Thursday.
One U.S. official said the U.S. does not believe the missiles were aimed at the ship.
Anybody else betting we find out they were fired by Israel so the US bombs Iran.
No telling after that hospital thing.
Probably blowing themselves up fumbling grenades

As we cover on a daily basis, we are in 5th Gen War as we speak.

Let me guess, we sent Naval presence so that they could get in the cross fire, kill our sailors, and start an official war because of it.
Bingo
The time is not for war, God is not going to allow a full war unless that is what our country wants
And yet.. our country wants it.
When I hear the word Houthi, for some reason I think of Star Wars characters.

Probably accurate too.
Just to be clear, I believe this happened yesterday
Iran-backed = US-regime-backed
I put this on my bingo card just a few days ago !
Return fire, for weeks.
Right on cue to bolster sentiment
