US navy says warships in Bab al-Mandab Strait intercepted Houthi missiles and drones

US Navy warships going through the Bab al-Mandab Strait intercepted a number of projectiles fired by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis, a US official says.

The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, says that the projectiles included both missiles and drones and there was no damage to any of the three warships in the area. The official is citing initial information, which can change.

The Houthis said earlier today that they targeted three US destroyers in the Red Sea with 23 ballistic and winged missiles and a drone.
