U.S. Shoots Down Houthi Missiles and a Drone Over the Red Sea

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that U.S. forces intercepted one drone and two anti-ship ballistic missiles launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels over the Red Sea.

Since joining the war against Israel initiated by Hamas on October 7, the Iran-backed Houthis have been launching drones and missiles at Israel and attempting to disrupt maritime traffic in the Red Sea region.

“These weapons presented a clear and imminent threat to U.S. and coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region. This reckless and dangerous behavior by Iranian-backed Houthis continues to threaten regional stability and security,” stated CENTCOM in a recent statement.

Meanwhile, Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported that the US and British coalition conducted two airstrikes on Yemen’s southwestern province of Taiz late Tuesday. The coalition has not yet confirmed these attacks, and there have been no immediate reports of casualties.
