Houthi attacks continue: US ships shoot down seven Yemeni missiles and drones

1 month ago babelfish

US forces continue to face attacks in the Red Sea . On Monday, US forces successfully engaged and destroyed seven anti-ship missiles, three unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and three weapons containers in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen in self-defense, according to a US Central Command statement.

Naval vessels determined that these weapons posed an imminent threat to merchant shipping and U.S. Navy ships in the region. These actions are taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S. Navy and merchant vessels.

The attack was confirmed by Houthi sources

Personnel aboard the USS Eisenhower, operating in the area, said this mission is the “most challenging faced by the US Navy since the end of World War II,” as reported by the BBC . Missile and drone attacks have recently been accompanied by attacks by underwater drones, which are very insidious for American naval ships, but which, fortunately, are spotted and intercepted by the carrier's aircraft.

Meanwhile, a senior U.S. official says an Israeli strike killed Marwan Issa, the deputy leader of Hamas's armed wing in Gaza who helped plan the Oct. 7 attack. Israel and Hamas have not confirmed Issa's death, and White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan has not said how U.S. intelligence concluded he was killed. But if reports are confirmed, Issa would be the highest-ranking Hamas leader to have been killed in Gaza since the war began.
