"US Conducts Defensive Airstrikes Against Houthi Anti-Ship Missiles in Red Sea"

The US has conducted defensive airstrikes in Yemen after Houthi rebels fired anti-ship ballistic missiles into the Red Sea, targeting merchant vessels. The US Central Command has reported destroying unmanned underwater vessels and 18 anti-ship missiles in response to the Houthi attacks, aiming to protect freedom of navigation and ensure the safety of US Navy and merchant vessels in the region. The US has shot down and destroyed over 100 Houthi missiles since January, but the rebel attacks show no signs of abating.
