American admission that a battleship was hit in the Red Sea

The US admitted on Wednesday that one of its battleships had been hit in the Red Sea.

Exclusive – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

CNN quoted a US Department of Defense official as saying that the attack, officially claimed by the Sana’a forces, was carried out using 24 drones, in addition to a number of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.

The US military had previously stated that they had intercepted only 18 drones and three missiles, while activists circulated images of one of the American ships engulfed in flames.

The Pentagon’s statement indicates that a number of aircraft, including ballistic and naval missiles, have already achieved their objectives, although Washington has not yet announced the extent of the damage to the targeted battleship.

The defensive systems of American battleships are incapable of intercepting more than 20 drones simultaneously, let alone ballistic missiles and drone boats.
