US Navy destroyer in Red Sea shoots down cruise missiles potentially headed toward Israel: Pentagon_我的网站

一 | The USS Carney, a U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer in the northern Red Sea, on Thursday shot down multiple missiles and drones launched by Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen that the Pentagon said were potentially headed toward targets in Israel.It is the first time in recent memory that a U.S. Navy ship in the Middle East has engaged missiles and drones that were not directly aimed at the vessel.It's also the first U.S. military action taken to defend Israel in the current crisis and with the U.S. and other countries trying to contain the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the possibility that an Iranian-backed proxy group fired missiles and drones at Israel is sure to increase growing regional tensions.The ship was in the northern Red Sea on Thursday evening local time when it intercepted three land attack cruise missiles and several drones, Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said at a press briefing. U.S. officials told ABC News that the Carney had brought down eight drones launched by the Houthis.The preliminary U.S. assessment was that the USS Carney was not the target of any of the Houthi missiles or drones, according to multiple U.S. officials."We cannot say for certain what these missiles and drones were targeting but they were launched from Yemen heading north along the Red Sea potentially to targets in Israel," said Ryder who added that information about the engagements was still being processed.It’s unclear from where the Houthi militia's missiles were fired but they were headed in a northerly direction, an official said.The Houthis are an Iranian-backed Shiite movement that has seized control over much of northern Yemen and has been at war with recent years while Yemen has been at war with a Saudi-led coalition since 2015.As part of that conflict, the Houthis have launched missiles and drones deep into Saudi Arabia, but it appears that the missiles intercepted on Thursday were not aimed at targets inside Saudi Arabia.Last week, Houthi leader Abdel-Malek al-Houthi was quoted as saying that if the U.S. directly intervened in the Gaza conflict his group would respond by firing drones and missiles, and take other military options."There are red lines when it comes to Gaza," he said.Thursday's incident occurred during the early evening hours (local time) when the missiles and drones were detected moving northward above the waters of the Red Sea.The missiles fired by the Houthis were engaged by SM2 missiles carried aboard the USS Carney, a U.S. official told ABC News. No information was released about what weapons platform aboard the Carney brought down the 8 drones.Brig. Gen. Ryder told reporters that the intercepts had taken place over water and not land. No sailors aboard the ship were harmed according to a U.S. official.The United States has boosted its military presence in the region since the start of the Israel-Hamas war nearly two weeks ago.The USS Carney is part of the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group that was deployed to the eastern Mediterranean to deter Iran and Hezbollah from joining the Israel-Hamas war. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recently extended the deployment of the Ford strike group so it can remain in the eastern Mediterranean and had ordered the deployment of additional fighter aircraft to U.S. airbases in the region.To increase U.S. deterrence of an expansion in the conflict the Ford will soon be joined in the eastern Mediterranean by the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier strike group that left Norfolk, Virginia on Saturday and could arrive in the region over the next 7 to 10 days."By posturing these U.S. naval assets and advanced fighter aircraft in the region, we aim to send a strong message intended to deter a wider conflict to bolster regional stability and of course to make it clear that we will protect and defend our national security interests," Ryder told reporters Thursday.The USS Carney had just transited into the Red Sea through the Suez Canal on Wednesday which is why the destroyer was still located in the northern stretch of that body of water that borders, Egypt, Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen.The missile shot down by the USS Carney will bolster the deterrence in the region and demonstrate that the show of force is serious stuff, a senior U.S. official told ABC News.The risk to U.S. forces and U.S. interests in the region has increased particularly in the wake of a deadly explosion at a hospital in Gaza earlier this week that inflamed regional tensions.On Wednesday, three drones were shot down by U.S. military forces as they neared bases in western and northern Iraq, another drone was shot down near U.S. forces in eastern Syria on Thursday.A U.S. contractor sheltering in place at one of the bases in Iraq died of a cardiac arrest in one of the incidents.Al Asad airbase in western Iraq experienced indirect fire on Thursday according to a U.S. official.The Carney's shootdown of Houthi missiles opens up the possibility that the U.S. Navy may have to position more ships in the Red Sea if the U.S. commits to protecting Israel from a southern attack said Steve Ganyard, an ABC News contributor and a former Pentagon official."The larger concern is if Iran now considers U.S. ships fair game," said Ganyard. "Because if the Houthis shoot at a U.S. ship there will be little doubt that it would have been at Tehran’s direction.""That said, there is nothing to suggest, no known reason to believe that Iran wants a fight with the U.S. and/or Israel," said Ganyard. "So, hopefully things calm down."ABC News' Martha Raddatz contributed to this report.。转自公众号：新西兰中文先驱（ID:Chinese_Herald) 大家还记得2019年怀特岛（White Island）火山爆发事件吗？22人遇难25人受伤，震惊全球。 Advertise with us 昨天，奥克兰地方法院宣判，5家单位包括4家旅行社，要赔受害者超过1000万纽币。 01 火山突然喷发22人遇难怀特岛在毛利语中被称为Whakaari，是一座小型活火山，它喷着白色气团，通常在北岛东海岸小镇Whakatāne可以望见。长期以来，怀特岛一直被宣传为新西兰最活跃的火山，出现在《指环王》和其他大片中。在灾难发生之前，它一直是东海岸一个受到游客欢迎的景点。岛上约70%的火山位于水下，以前游客可以走进火山口一直到火山湖口的边缘，凝视火山内部不断沸腾的核心。 2019年12月9日，从澳洲过来的皇家加勒比邮轮“海洋赞礼号”(Ovation of the Seas)开到陶朗加。

二 | 当地旅行社就组织一批邮轮旅客登岛参观。下午2点多，火山突然喷发，当时岛上共有47人，在两次喷发后，造成22人死亡，其中2人失踪，经验尸官判定死亡。 25名幸存者受伤，许多人伤势严重且严重烧伤，一时震惊全球。据悉，旅行团里有24名澳大利亚人、9名美国人、5名新西兰人、4名德国人、2名中国人、2名英国人和1名马来西亚人 02 这些公司判赔上千万 2020年底，怀特岛的所有人Buttles家族三兄弟及他们的公司Whakaari Management Ltd）以及多家旅行社，因涉嫌未能充分保护游客和工作人员而于奥克兰地方法院受审。起初每名被告都提出无罪抗辩，但此后有几名被告改变了抗辩态度，其中对一名被告的指控被驳回。经过了多年的司法程序，这周一，奥克兰地方法院开始审理。

三 | 昨天，法官Evangelos Thomas做出判决。 Whakaari Management Ltd被处以 104.5 万纽币的罚款，并被责令向受害者支付 488 万纽币的赔偿。另外4家旅行社中： 1）带领游客上岛的White Island Tours被罚 517,000 纽币，并被责令向受害者支付 500 万纽币的赔偿。该旅行社是岛上火山旅游的最大参与者。

四 | 火山喷发时，火山口内有 38 名游客和 4 名工人。

五 | 许多人死亡，其余人遭受严重烧伤。 2）Volcanic Air Safaris是提供旅游服务的3家直升机运营商之一，被罚款50.6万纽币，并被责令向4名游客和飞行员33万的赔偿；火山喷发时，该公司是岛上唯一运营的直升机公司。 3) 另外两家直升机公司Aerius和Kahu分别被罚款 290,000 纽币和 196,000 纽币，但没有被责令支付赔偿金。

六 | Kahu公司的飞行员在火山喷发时义无返顾去救人，获得法官的认可，罚金打了75折，只判赔196,000纽币。火山喷发时，Aerius 和 Kahu 公司没有工作人员或游客在岛上。

七 | 另外，一家国有单位也被罚了——GNS Science，类似于中国的地震局。法官称GNS Science未能向承包商充分传达火山风险。本来要罚90,000纽币，但考虑到该机构早期认罪，并有公共服务记录，给予40%的折扣，罚款54000纽币。

八 | 但因为GNS Science是官方研究院，所以这54000纽币要从公共资金支付，相当于是纳税人买单。 03 多家公司都无钱可赔虽然这几家算下来，要支付受害者家属超过1000万纽币的赔偿，并被罚款约260万纽币。

九 | 但尴尬的是，许多公司根本无钱支付。

十 | 工作安全局的检察官在听证会上说，涉案旅行社表示无法支付罚款，但检察官认为即使旅行社无法支付罚款，法官也应该处以经济惩罚。 Whakaari管理有限公司作为企业受托人，没有银行账户，因此没有资金可用于支付罚款。

十一 | 法官表示这不会影响他的判决，他直接向公司所有者Buttles家族发表了讲话。 “作为 Whakaari的股东，没有什么可以阻止Buttles家族付钱履行该义务。” “我们等着看Buttles家族会怎么做，全世界都在关注。” 而White Island Tours有保险来支付赔偿金，但由于其财务状况，要求免除罚款。但法官表示“如果该公司确实进入清算，罚款当成债务，留给股东和清算人来处理。” 他说，同样的原则也适用于直升机运营商，虽然他们的财务状况同样薄弱。唉！相关阅读：【专题报道】怀特岛（White Island）火山喷发：旅游胜地突变炼狱怀特岛火山喷发调查结果：13方面临指控，涉及两家政府机构又一人不治身亡！怀特岛火山爆发死亡人数增至22人专家：怀特岛之旅运营商或面临过失杀人指控注：本文为编译/原创，欢迎转发分享；但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者，本网将追究其相关法律责任。
