In the Red Sea, an American guided missile destroyer, USS Carney, struck 14 Houthi drones on Saturday. In a social media post, the US Central Command has said that the US Arliegh Burke-class guided missile destroyer successfully engaged 14 unmanned aerial systems, launched as a drone wave from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. It added that they were one-way attack drones and were shot down with no reports of damage to ships or injuries in the area. Regional partners of America were alerted to the threat.<br />''<br />''Since November this year, Houthis have targeted ships owned by foreign countries in the Red Sea. About three weeks ago, the Houthi rebels captured a cargo ship, Galaxy Leader, which was heading towards India. The 25 member crew of the ship is still being held hostage in the Yemeni port of Hodeidah.<br />'' <br />
