Drone attack on US military base...Iran denied..!
17 people including the crew were rescued from the fishing vessel. In parts of the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, there has been a series of drone and pirate attacks on merchant ships. As a result, the Indian Navy has stepped up surveillance in tense areas and has deployed around 10 warships to counter attacks.
Iran-backed Yemen's Houthi rebels have been targeting merchant shipping in the Red Sea with missiles and drones since the Israel-Hamas conflict began on October 7. Houthi rebels declared their support for Hamas. Following these attacks, many shipping companies stopped plying through the Red Sea.
