The United States Navy successfully intercepted 24 Houthi missiles and drones launched from Yemen over the Red Sea, CNN reported, citing two US defense officials. The defense operation involved three destroyers as part of Operation Prosperity Guardian, a multinational effort comprising over 20 countries aimed at safeguarding shipping in the Red Sea. While details remain limited, it is unclear whether the missiles and drones were launched simultaneously.This marks one of the largest Houthi attacks in recent months, although there were no reported ship damages or injuries in the onslaught.
Ministry: UK, US ships repel Houthis attack
British Defense Ministry reported on Wednesday that its HMS Diamond ship, in conjunction with United States warships successfully thwarted “the largest attack by the Iranian-backed Houthis in the Red Sea to date,” which was reported hours earlier by the US Central Command (CENTCOM). The UK ministry said that its vessel destroyed several drones, with no injuries or damage reported to the infrastructure and the crew on board. Previously, CENTCOM said that “Houthis launched a complex attack of Iranian designed one-way attack UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicle] anti-ship cruise missiles, and an anti-ship ballistic missile from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen into the Southern Red Sea,” making this the 26th assault on commercial shipping tracks in the Red Sea since November 19.
