"US and IDF Respond to Houthi Aggression in Red Sea and Gaza Clashes"

U.S. forces intercepted two anti-ship ballistic missiles and engaged with armed boats attacking a container ship in the Red Sea, attributed to Yemen's Houthi rebels. The Singapore-flagged MAERSK HANZGHOU, hit by a missile previously, was defended by U.S. Navy ships and helicopters, resulting in the sinking of three attacker boats and the death of several gunmen. The U.S. Central Command reported no injuries to the ship's crew or U.S. personnel. The Houthi rebels have targeted ships they associate with Israel, while the U.S. has increased maritime security in the region through Operation Prosperity Guardian.
