US Navy destroyers unscathed after fighting off a complex attack of cruise and ballistic missiles and exploding drones

A commercial oil tanker adrift in the Red Sea was still on fire days after an attack by the Houthis.
The Greek-flagged vessel MV Sounion was struck by an exploding Houthi drone boat last week.
Carrying 165,000 tons of crude oil, the EU said it poses a "navigational and environmental hazard."
A commercial oil tanker adrift in the Red Sea was still on fire days after Houthi rebels attacked it with an explosive-laden drone boat last week.

The incident was the most recent successful attack by the Iranian-backed rebel group in Yemen, which is targeting vessels in key shipping lanes in the Red Sea in solidarity with Palestinians amid the war in the Gaza Strip.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
