American fighter jets shot down multiple Houthi drones fired from Yemen over several hours Sunday. The interceptions over the Red Sea mark the first time in more than two months that Houthis targeted U.S. Navy ships and come a day after the Truman Carrier Strike Group bombed several targets inside Yemen.
 

The Houthis launched 11 drones and one ballistic missile at the USS Harry S. Truman and the supporting ships of its carrier strike group, a U.S. official with knowledge of the incident told Task & Purpose. The engagements started shortly after midnight local time on Sunday, March 16 and lasted approximately 12 hours. All of the drones were shot down by U.S. Air Force jets over the Red Sea.

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
