Navy intercepts Houthi barrage of missiles, drones launched at three US warships in the Red Sea
The US Navy intercepted a barrage of Houthi missiles and drones launched at three of its warships in the Red Sea on Thursday, US defense officials said.
The attack was one of the largest yet on US warships in the Middle East, one official told CNN.
“We did see a complex attack launched from the Houthis that ranged from cruise missiles and [drones],” deputy Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh said during a briefing.
“My understanding is that those were either engaged and shot down or failed.”
No US warships were damaged or struck in the assault, nor were any American servicemembers injured, she added.
