A US warship in the Red Sea intercepted three missiles and several drones, according to the US military. The US Department of Defense announced on Thursday that the target of the projectiles could not be named with certainty. “However, they were launched from Yemen and flew north along the Red Sea, possibly towards targets in Israel.” The warship was located in the north of the Red Sea.
Two US officials told CNN that the missiles were fired by Houthi militias. These are supported by Ian and are involved in an ongoing conflict in Yemen.
No injuries
Pentagon Press Secretary Pat Ryder confirms that the USS Carney shot down three land-attack missiles and several drones launched by Houthi forces in Yemen. “This action was a demonstration of the integrated air and missile defense architecture that we have built in the Middle East and that we are prepared to deploy when necessary to protect our partners and our interests in this important region,” he said . No civilians or U.S. military personnel were injured.
It is unclear at this time where the bullets were aimed. They departed from Yemen and headed north along the Red Sea – ‘possibly towards targets in Israel’.
