The U.S. military said its forces shot down a cruise missile fired from Houthi rebel areas toward an American Navy destroyer in the Red Sea, days after the U.S. led air and naval strikes against the Iran-backed militants in Yemen.
The Houthis, who haven’t commented on the Sunday afternoon launch, have pledged to continue their campaign against U.S. and international targets in the region in response to Israel’s actions in Gaza, despite last week’s U.S.-led strikes against dozens of Houthi targets that were designed to prevent further attacks.
