The US’s Centcom has said its forces “successfully engaged” two antiship ballistic missiles fired by Yemen’s Houthis at the USS Gravely in the southern Red Sea on Saturday, Al Jazeera reports.
Centcom said the missiles’ launch did not cause any damage or injuries.
It added that its forces destroyed one Houthi drone in the southern Red Sea and observed two other drones crash into the water.
The statement comes after the Houthis announced it had conducted six operations targeting a US aircraft carrier, a US destroyer and three vessels in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, Al Jazeera noted.
