The Houthis fired missiles and 2 UAVs in the Red Sea and in return, the US destroyed a surface-to-air missile system that posed a threat to the region.
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) successfully destroyed an anti-ship ballistic missile and two drones in the Red Sea launched by the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists from Yemen. No injuries or damage were reported in the incident.
