The claim is inaccurate. The footage is from a video game.

The U.S. military is deploying aircraft from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower to combat the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen, Business Insider reported. Officials have claimed they are “constantly” striking the terrorist group.

A post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, allegedly shows a video of U.S. vessels getting hit by ballistic missiles from the Houthi rebels in Yemen. The footage shows ships in open water with flashes coming from them.

The caption reads, “The Red Sea has witnessed a naval battle over the past 24 hours, with four ships, including the US Navy USS Labone, coming under ballistic missile attacks from the Houthis.”

The video is fabricated. The footage is from  “Arma 3” gameplay. The clip can be seen in a video posted by the official channel for the game.

This is not the first time misinformation was shared online. Check Your Fact debunked a claim that Elon Musk claimed he would rather drink sewer water than watch Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl.
