The U.S. Central Command is confirming details of the latest attack on shipping in the Red Sea, stating that a barrage of missiles and one-way attack drones was launched from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen in what was described as a “complex attack.”
The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) office said it received a report from a commercial vessel in the Red Sea of an “incident” approximately 50 nautical miles west of Al Hudaydah, Yemen. An update from the UKMTO said there had been multiple reports of Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) activity in the area.
U.S. media later reported that warships with Operation Prosperity Guardian shot down several drones and missiles launched from Yemen in what is believed to be the “largest attack to date” by the Houthis against merchant shipping in the Red Sea.
The U.S. Central Command confirmed details of the incident in a post to “X” Tuesday night, stating that a combination of U.S. warships, fighter jets, and a UK warship shot down eighteen suicide drones and three missiles launched from Yemen towards international shipping lanes where “dozens” of ships were transiting. No damages to ships were reported.
It's ridiculous to sit there and let them lob cruise missiles and attack drones repeatedly at our ships. It's time to start reducing the ability of the Houthis to fire off random rockets.
