US forces intercept Houthi missiles and drone over Red Sea

US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced in a post on X on Tuesday that its forces had intercepted and destroyed an Iranian-backed Houthi drone and two anti-ship ballistic missiles within the past 24 hours.

The missiles were launched from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen and targeted the Red Sea.

"This reckless and dangerous behavior by Iranian-backed Houthis continues to threaten regional stability and security," CENTCOM said.
