Navy destroyer Gravely takes out Houthi drones, missile in the Red Sea

The Navy destroyer Gravely and U.S. forces destroyed an inbound anti-ship ballistic missile and two aerial drones in the Red Sea on Wednesday launched by Houthi militants in Yemen, according to U.S. Central Command.

U.S. forces also destroyed a mobile surface-to-air missile system in Houthi-controlled territory.


“There were no injuries or damage reported by U.S., coalition, or commercial ships,” CENTCOM said.

The latest engagement with the Iran-backed organization during its monthslong campaign of assaults against commercial and military ships in Middle Eastern waters comes just days after the group’s multiple attempts to attack a U.S. warship.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Why aren't they "taking out" the launchpads where these drones and missiles are originating from?

Better than that, why aren't they "taking out" the offices and homes of the Houti leadership that are ordering these strikes?
