US Destroyers, Ike Aircraft Shoot Down Houthi-Launched Missiles, Drones Over Red Sea

USS Laboon (DDg-58), USS Gravely (DDG-107), USS Mason (DDg-87) and F/A-18s from USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69), along with the United Kingdom’s HMS Diamond (D34), shot down a number of Houthi-launched drones and missiles over the Red Sea, U.S. Central Command announced via social media site X Tuesday night.

The ships and aircraft shot down 18 one-way attack unmanned aerial vehicles, two anti-ship cruise missiles and one anti-ship ballistic missile Tuesday at around 9:15 p.m. local time, CENTCOM said in the release.

The Houthis launched the drones and missiles toward the southern Red Sea, where merchant vessels transit through international shipping lanes, according to the release. It is not clear if a specific ship was targeted, but no injuries or damage to ships were reported.

Central Command marks this as the 26th time the Houthis have launched drones or missiles toward shipping lanes in the Red Sea.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Does the military have to apologize to Houthis for shooting down their missiles and drones to maintain there leading status in wokeness? :whistle:

I am sure the Biden Company is showing the "proper" amount of groveling before the Potentates of Yemen.
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.

Apologize? No, as a matter of fact I think they should send them a thank you gift
