Houthis, defying U.S. strikes, attempt another attack on U.S.-owned commercial ship
cbsnews.com
The targeting of another U.S.-owned commercial ship Wednesday shows the militant group remains intent on continuing its attacks in the face of multiple rounds of U.S. military airstrikes.
The Houthis launched anti-ship ballistic missiles at the U.S.-owned, flagged and operated commercial ship Maersk Detroit as it was transiting the Gulf of Aden, according to a statement from the U.S. Central Command. The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Gravely shot down two missiles and a third fell into the water. There were no indications of damage or injuries in the attack.
The U.S. military has been conducting airstrikes against the Houthis to degrade their capabilities since Jan.11, after several weeks of attacks on commercial ships by the militant group.

Attacking civilian ships with civilian crews does nothing to stop genocide; it's just terrorism.
Don't fall for propaganda like a dumbass. These two ships were carrying DOD cargo.
Good point. The civilian sailors clearly deserve it. After all, they get to pick and choose which cargo they carry... just like the Palestinians got to pick their own government and chose terrorists.
If they were good little wage-slaves, they'd have quit and starved until they found a morally pure capitalist to work for.
