The men and women of the Navy destroyer Carney continued to show and prove in the Red Sea Saturday when they shot down a barrage of 14 attack drones, according to U.S. Central Command, the latest incident involving American warships intercepting such barrages in recent months as the region teeters on the brink of a broader war spilling out of the Israel-Hamas conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the early morning hours local time, Carney \u201csuccessfully engaged 14 unmanned aerial systems launched as a drone wave from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen,\u201d the command said in a brief statement. \u201cThe [drones] were assessed to be one-way attack drones and were shot down with no damage to ships in the area or reported injuries. Regional Red Sea partners were alerted to the threat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
