US Navy warships engaged in defensive operations off the coast of Yemen, successfully shooting down multiple missiles and drones launched by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
Despite the Houthi claims of successful strikes, US Central Command confirmed that all incoming threats were neutralized, reflecting the ongoing challenges posed by these rebels in the region.
The USS Stockdale's involvement in three engagements within three months highlights an increasing pattern of aggressive tactics by the Houthis against American naval forces.
Central Command stated the destroyers successfully defended a convoy of US-owned commercial vessels, thereby contributing to the security of critical waterways in the Gulf of Aden.
