According to officials the U.S. Navy destroyer, USS Mason was fired in international waters off the coast of Yemen but the USS Mason arrayed countermeasures and the vessel was not struck.
The Mason once again appears to have come under attack in the Red sea from coastal defense cruise missiles which were fired from the coast of Yemen, the ship was targeted by missiles fired from rebel-controlled areas in Yemen twice earlier this week, prompting the U.S. military to launch cruise missiles that destroyed three radar sites in response to the attack. A defense official warned those who fire on U.S. vessels to do so at their own peril.
