On Oct. 19, the Pentagon press secretary, Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, confirmed that the
Iran-backed Houthi militia targeted the USS Carney, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile
destroyer, in the Red Sea. The USS Carney reportedly intercepted three cruise missiles and
several drones without sustaining any damage or casualties. Although the Houthis have yet
to claim responsibility for the attack, the drones and missiles were likely fired from north-
western, Houthi-held positions in Hodeida and Hajjah governorates on Yemen’s Red Sea
coast and were headed “north” without an established target at the time of reporting. Since
September, the Houthis have reportedly intensified their naval military training in al-Luhayya
district in northern Hodeida and brought in new medium and heavy weapons capabilities,
suggesting that they intend to launch an attack on strategic maritime and trade routes, a
senior military official told the author.
10月19日，五角大楼新闻秘书空军准将帕特·莱德（Pat Ryder）证实，伊朗支持的胡塞民兵在
红海瞄准了阿利·伯克级导弹驱逐舰卡尼号。据报道，卡尼号航空母舰拦截了三枚巡航导弹和
几架无人机，没有造成任何损坏或人员伤亡。尽管胡塞武装尚未声称对这次袭击负责，但无人
机和导弹很可能是从也门红海沿岸荷台达省和哈杰省的胡塞武装控制的西北阵地发射的，并且
在报告时没有确定目标的情况下向“北方”飞行。一名高级军事官员告诉作者，自9月以来，据
报道，胡塞武装加强了在荷台达北部al-Luhayya地区的海军军事训练，并引进了新的中型和重
型武器能力，这表明他们打算对战略海上和贸易路线发动攻击。
