US Navy intercepts missile and drone attack by Houthi rebels in Red Sea

US Navy warships in the Red Sea intercepted multiple missiles and drones launched by Houthi rebels on Friday. A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed that no US ships were damaged and no personnel were injured during the incident. The Houthis claimed to have targeted three Navy vessels with nearly two dozen projectiles, but US officials disputed these claims, stating there is no credible evidence of any hits. The Pentagon described the attack as "complex," involving both cruise missiles and drones. Five US warships are currently patrolling the Red Sea, with increased presence amid rising tensions in the region. Prior to this incident, the last two weeks had seen a lull in attacks, with US forces recently destroying a missile system in Yemen.
