US Navy helicopters sank three vessels operated by Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels that had attacked a container ship in the Red Sea, killing the crews. The Huthis fired on the helicopters, prompting them to return fire in self-defense. The navy responded to a request for assistance from the Maersk Hangzhou, a container ship that reported coming under attack for a second time in 24 hours. The Huthis have targeted vessels in the Red Sea shipping lane, endangering global trade.from World News Headlines, Latest International News, World Breaking News - Times of India https://ift.tt/dnyp6Qb
