America intercepts Houthi missiles

Meanwhile, an American official has reported that a US warship intercepted three missiles fired by the Houthi group in Yemen.

The target of the missiles is unknown, but they may have been aimed at the USS Carney, which is currently in the Red Sea.

This escalation in the region comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war on Hamas, and Iran is likely to move in support of its ally, Hamas, following US support to protect Israel.
