According to journalists, the destroyer intercepted about 2-3 missiles. It is unknown what was the purpose of ammunition. Near the coast of Yemen was attacked the ship of the Navy of the United States of America. This was reported by CNN with reference to two US officials. The newspaper writes that one of the officials said that Iran's Husi fighters involved in conflict in Yemen could have been released by missiles. While the other noted that the US ship has caught about 2-3 missiles.

Instead, they do not know where the rockets were targeted. "The missiles may have been released on the USS Carney (US Navy Destroyer - Ed. ) Or launched towards another purpose," the statement said. The media stressed that the incident occurred against the backdrop of concern about the possible aggression of Iran, which supports Hamas Islamic fighters in the war against Israel.
