Two missiles were fired from territory in Yemen controlled by the Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, according to a US military spokesman. He said the two missiles had failed to hit the ship. “USS Mason detected two inbound missiles over a 60-minute period while in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen. Both missiles impacted the water before reaching the ship,” Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis said. The failed attack came after an air strike, widely blamed on Saudi-led warplanes, killed at least 140 Yemenis at a funeral. The While House announced it would reexamine its support its support for the 18-month military push, saying US support was not a “blank check”. The incident could strain the US-Saudi partnership in Yemen.
