US says it shot down multiple drones, missiles over Red Sea
The US military said Tuesday that it shot down 12 drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles and two land-attack cruise missiles fired by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels at ships in the southern Red Sea.
The Houthi group has repeatedly threatened to target ships owned or operated by Israeli companies "in solidarity with Palestine" and has urged countries to withdraw their citizens working within the crews of these ships.
