Tanker ship off India hit by attack drone 'fired from Iran': Pentagon
Sunday, 24 December 2023 A Japanese-owned chemical tanker was targeted by a drone strike off the coast of India, according to the Pentagon. This incident marks an expansion of risks to commercial shipping beyond the Red Sea. The tanker, named MV Chem Pluto, was operated by a Dutch entity and owned by a Japanese company. The drone strike occurred 200 nautical miles off the coast of India and no US Navy vessels were nearby. This is the first time that the Pentagon has openly accused Iran of directly targeting ships since the start of Israel's war on Hamas.

The Pentagon confirmed Houthi fighters launched multiple drones and missiles at US warships USS Stockdale and USS Spruance near Yemen. All attacks were successfully repelled with no damages or casualties. The Houthis claimed an 8-hour assault, including targeting USS Abraham Lincoln, which the Pentagon denied. Since November 2023, Houthis have attacked over 90 vessels in solidarity with Palestinians, prompting US-UK retaliatory strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen.

In a stunning turn of events, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s latest plea for advanced missile systems was rejected by the Pentagon, leaving Kiev empty-handed in its bid to counter Russia's ongoing military offensive. Despite Zelensky’s urgent request for long-range missiles to boost Ukraine's defenses, U.S. defense officials have opted to prioritize established international buyers over Ukraine, signaling a potential shift in Washington's support strategy. The denial comes as a major blow to Zelensky, who had banked on securing vital military aid to bolster his nation’s resistance against Russia. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has seized the moment to mock Zelensky’s failed attempt, casting doubt on Ukraine’s future prospects in the conflict and sending ripples across the geopolitical landscape.
