An American warship shot down a drone and an anti-ship ballistic missile fired Thursday by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, AFP reports US military as saying.
“The USS Mason (DDG 87) shot down one drone and one anti-ship ballistic missile in the Southern Red Sea that were fired by the Houthis,” US Central Command (Centcom) said in a statement, referring to a guided-missile destroyer.
“There was no damage to any of the 18 ships in the area or reported injuries,” Centcom said, adding that it was the 22nd attempted attack on international shipping by the Houthis since mid-October.
