From US military says it fended off Houthi attack on ships in Gulf of Aden
Two US Navy destroyers escorting three merchant vessels through the Gulf of Aden defeated an attack by Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, the US military says.
The Houthis launched multiple drones and a cruise missile while the ships were transiting the Gulf yesterday and today, the US Central Command says in a post on X.
“The reckless attacks resulted in no injuries and no damage to any vessels, civilians or US Naval,” CENTCOM says.
A military spokesman for the Houthis said earlier today that the group had targeted three supply ships and two American destroyers accompanying them in the Gulf of Aden.
