US Military Strikes Yemen

Two Strike Attempts on US Ship in
Less than Two Weeks From Yemen

U.S. officials have told Reuters there were growing indications that the Iranian backed,  Houthi fighters, or forces aligned with them, were responsible for Sunday's [Oct 9, 2016] attempted strikes, on the USS Mason where two coastal cruise missiles designed to target ships failed to reach the destroyer. 

​The missile incidents, along with an Oct. 1, 2016 strike on a vessel from the United Arab Emirates, add to questions about safety of passage for military ships around the Bab al-Mandab Strait, one of the world's busiest shipping routes.
