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.

I am sure the Biden Company is showing the "proper" amount of groveling before the Potentates of Yemen.

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