A fire on a US Navy destroyer in the Indo-Pacific region has sparked a lot of buzz, with speculation about a possible attack on the USS Higgins.
The USS Higgins, a guided missile destroyer, caught fire earlier this week, resulting in significant damage to the ship, including its electricity system and propulsion.
The exact location of the fire and the cause remain unknown, with US officials citing a lack of information.
The USS Higgins was stationed in Singapore in February 2026 and is currently homeported in Yokosuka, Japan, operating with the US Seventh Fleet.
The ship is a multi-mission warship designed for air defense, missile strikes, anti-submarine warfare, and escort duties.
