The Maersk Hangzhou, a Singapore-flagged, Denmark-owned and -operated container ship, sent out two distress calls while transiting the Southern Red Sea. In the first call that came on Saturday evening, the vessel declared that it was struck by a missile. The container ship reported that it was still seaworthy and there were no injuries to those onboard.
While responding to the distress call, two anti-ship ballistic missiles were fired from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen toward the US ships.The USS Gravely and USS Laboon shot down the missiles before they hit their targets.
A second distress call came from Hangzhou on Sunday, stating that they were “under attack by four Iranian-backed Houthi small boats”. The small boats, originating from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, fired crew-served and small arms weapons at the container ship, approaching to within 20 meters of the vessel. The Houthi terrorists attempted to board the vessel. A security team on Hangzhou returned fire.
Helicopters from the USS Eisenhower and USS Gravely responded to the distress call and in the process of issuing verbal calls to the small boats, the small boats fired upon the U.S. helicopters with crew-served weapons and small arms. The U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defense, sinking three of the four small boats, and killing ten terrorists. The fourth boat fled the area. There was no damage to U.S. personnel or equipment.
