The Iran-backed Houthi militia launched missiles and drones toward a US naval vessel and two commercial vessels in the southern Red Sea, hours after an Iranian drone attack targeted an Israeli-linked chemical tanker in the Indian Ocean, US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced early Sunday morning.
Throughout the day, the Houthis launched two anti-ship ballistic missiles from Yemen into international shipping lanes in the southern Red Sea, according to CENTCOM.
Additionally, the USS Laboon shot down four drones the Houthis launched towards it as it was patrolling the southern Red Sea as part of Operation Prosperity Guardian.
Later in the day, the M/V Blaamanen, a Norwegian-flagged, owned, and operated chemical/oil tanker, reported that a Houthi drone detonated near it and the M/V Saibaba, a Gabon-owned, Indian-flagged crude oil tanker, reported that it was hit by a one-way attack drone. No injuries were reported in either incident. The USS Laboon responded to distress calls from the two vessels.
