A United States fighter aircraft shot down an anti-ship cruise missile Sunday that was fired from Yemen by the Iran-backed Houthis toward a U.S. destroyer located in the Red Sea.
U.S. Central Command announced Sunday’s Houthi incident in a statement released on X. The anti-ship cruise missile attack marks the first reported Houthi attack since the United States and its allies conducted joint strikes against Houthi targets on Thursday due to the group’s repeated attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas in October.
“On Jan. 14 at approximately 4:45 p.m. (Sanaa time), an anti-ship cruise missile was fired from Iranian-backed Houthi militant areas of Yemen toward USS Laboon (DDG 58), which was operating in the Southern Red Sea,” Central Command stated. “The missile was shot down in vicinity of the coast of Hudaydah by U.S. fighter aircraft. There were no injuries or damage reported.”
