War on open sea

CAIRO, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Yemen's Houthis said on Wednesday that they targeted a number of U.S. warships with ballistic missiles in the Gulf of Aden and Bab al-Mandab while they were protecting two U.S. commercial vessels.

The "clash" led to a U.S. warship being directly hit and forced the two commercial vessels "to withdraw and return," the Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said in a statement.

This attack seems to me very important. A direct attack on an American warship in open sea.  Another war. We have entered a new era where every barefooted famished religious fanatic can provoke a world power.
