U.S. Navy Warships Shoots Down Houthi Missiles in High-Stakes Red Sea Encounter

U.S. Navy warships intercept multiple missiles and drones fired by the Houthis in the Red Sea.

The Pentagon labeled it a complex attack but confirmed no damage or injuries to U.S. ships or personnel.

Houthis claimed direct hits on three U.S. Navy ships, but U.S. officials refuted this, citing no evidence to support the claims.

The U.S. Navy took defensive measures, and successfully protected their forces with no hits, no damage, and no injuries reported.

There are five U.S. warships currently in the Red Sea: USS Frank E. Petersen, USS Michael Murphy, USS Spruance, USS Stockdale, and USS Indianapolis.

The USS Spruance, USS Stockdale, and USS Indianapolis joined patrols recently due to heightened fears of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

This is the latest attack by the Houthis, who have a history of launching missiles and drones at ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

U.S. warships have responded to these threats, intercepting missiles and carrying out strikes against Houthi positions in Yemen.

With tensions rising in the Middle East, U.S. Navy ships are prepared to counter any threats and protect vital sea routes.
