Shocking new details revealed US Navy warship shot down multiple drones and missiles during a nine hour onslaught near the Yemeni coast on Thursday.

The USS Carney was stationed in the Northern Red Sea when it intercepted 15 drones and four cruise missiles which were fired by Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen and ‘headed for Israel’.

There were no injuries onboard the ship and none were reported on land among civilians. 

The Defense Department initially said the warship had taken down ‘several’ drones and three land attack cruise missiles before details surrounding the full-scale of the attack were released. 

The incident was the fourth in three days of increased aggression against US troops in the region as tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East.

An official from the Defense Department said the drones and cruise missiles were shot down using SM-2 surface-to-air missiles. 

The source added that the rockets fired by the Iran-backed Houthi militants were clearly headed for Israel.

While a US official added that they do not believe the missiles, shot down over the water, were aimed at the US warship. 

The Houthi terrorist group in Yemen has signaled its intention to join the war against Israel.

Officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said an attack took place on Wednesday against US forces at Al-Tanf base, near Syria’s borders with Iraq and Jordan

On Wednesday, a contractor at the al-Asad airbase in Iraq died of a heart attack while sheltering amid reports of an incoming attack.

There were minor injuries at the al-Asad base, where troops were only able to intercept one of the drones and damage the other. The extent of those injuries is unclear.

It also remains unclear whether the strikes against the al-Tanf airbase resulted in any damage or injuries.

The strikes come amid increased tension in the Middle East over the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, which many now view as a conflict between the West and the Arab world.

President Biden has been steadfast in his support of Israel since Hamas attacked on October 7, supplying military aid and flying to the region in a show of strong alliance.

His visit and ongoing support of Israel whipped up anti-American protesters in Lebanon, where crowds laid siege to the US Embassy in Beirut yesterday.

The State Department has now issued a rare worldwide caution travel advisory for Americans traveling overseas, citing the potential for terror attacks and ‘increased tensions’ as reason to be on high alert.
