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.
