On 3 December 2023, the USS Carney, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer of the United States Navy, reportedly shot down two attack drones launched from Yemen that were approaching the ship. After shooting down the drones, the ship responded to a distress call by commercial ships in the area who came under attack by ballistic missiles launched from Yemen. The incident lasted five hours in total.
The Houthi movement claimed responsibility for the attacks. Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree stated that one merchant vessel was hit by a missile and another by a drone while in the Bab el-Mandeb strait, without mentioning a warship. A Pentagon source said there were no injuries onboard the ship, and no damage to the ship itself.
