U.S. Kills 10 Houthi Fighters as Tensions Grows in Red Sea
----------------------------------------------------------

Tension keeps escalating in the Red Sea. An Iranian warship has
reportedly entered the Red Sea after U.S. forces killed 10 Houthi
fighters from Yemen and sank three of their ships. The Pentagon claims
the Houthis fired at a pair of U.S. Navy helicopters that were
responding to a distress call from a container ship targeted by the
Houthis. Since November, the Houthis have been carrying out attacks on
ships in the Red Sea to show support for Palestinians in Gaza.
