US Central Command releases details of its interception of projectiles in the Red Sea that were fired earlier today by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.
A statement from CENTCOM says the USS Laboon, a guided-missile destroyer, and an unspecified number of F-18 fighter jets shot down 12 attack drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles and two cruise missiles that the Houthis launched over a 10-hour stretch.
No ships were damaged and there were no reports of injuries.
