WASHINGTON — US forces have shot down one anti-ship ballistic missile and three one-way attack unmanned aerial systems launched from Iranian-backed Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen toward the USS Carney in the Red Sea, the US Central Command says.

US forces later destroyed three anti-ship missiles and three unmanned surface vessels in self-defense, CENTCOM says in a statement.
