The US military successfully fended off an attack by Yemen-based Houthis, intercepting missiles and drones aimed at three US-flagged commercial vessels in the Gulf of Aden.
CENTCOM reported that during the attack, the US destroyers USS Stockdale and USS O'Kane intercepted a barrage of Houthi-launched missiles and drones, ensuring the safety of the escorted vessels.
The Houthi group's actions, aimed at pressuring the US regarding the Gaza conflict, have consistently been framed by the US as threats to trade and navigation.
US forces remain committed to protecting personnel and shipping interests against ongoing Houthi threats, highlighting international concerns over regional trade routes.
