Iran-backed Houthis launch three attacks in Red Sea, Gulf of Aden as tensions escalate, US military responds

"Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen launched three separate attacks in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea.

Around 5 a.m., U.S. Central Command forces shot down a drone over the Gulf of Aden. There were no injuries.
Later Thursday, CENTCOM forces destroyed a Houthi explosive uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) in the Red Sea. U.S. forces identified the USV heading toward the international shipping lane and determined it presented an "imminent threat" to merchant vessels and U.S. Navy ships in the region, CENTCOM said.
CENTCOM said the strike resulted in "significant secondary explosions." There were no injuries or damage reported.
Later that afternoon, two anti-ship ballistic missiles were launched from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen toward a Liberian-flagged, Bermuda-owned cargo ship. The missiles landed in the water without hitting the ship. There were no injuries or damage reported to the vessel." SkyNews
