Kashif verified the video via \u201cGoogle Images\u201d tool and found that it is old and wrongly linked to the two American destroyers that the Houthis recently targeted in the Gulf of Aden. The video shows an American destroyer damaged as a result of a collision with a Philippine-flagged ship off the southwestern coast of Japan in June 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBS New York<\/a>\u00a0posted\u00a0the video on YouTube on 17\/6\/2017, with the following title: \u201cNavy crew members injured in collision,\u201d and the channel stated in the video description: \u201cSeven U.S. Navy sailors are missing and two others injured after a U.S. destroyer collided early Saturday morning with a merchant ship off the coast of Japan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
