Houthi Missile and Drone Attack on U.S. Navy Ships Fails, Officials Confirm

The Houthi missile and drone attack on U.S. Navy ships failed to hit any targets, according to U.S. officials. The attack was a response to U.S. airstrikes in Yemen. The U.S. confirmed the effectiveness of its military response against the Houthis, with significant casualties reported from the strikes.

The Houthi missile and drone assault on U.S. Navy ships in the Red Sea was confirmed as unsuccessful by a U.S. official. This attack was purportedly in retaliation for recent U.S. airstrikes targeting the Houthi group in Yemen. The Houthis claimed to have launched 18 ballistic missiles and a drone in two separate incidents against the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier group.

In summary, the Houthi’s missile and drone attack on U.S. naval vessels was ineffective, with none reaching their targets. The United States responded decisively with airstrikes in Yemen, aiming to send a strong message to both the Houthis and Iran. The situation continues to evolve as the Houthis maintain their stance against Israeli military actions in Gaza, promising further operations in that context.
