In an extended conflict that spanned across Tuesday, the United States Navy conducted successful defense maneuvers against a variety of incoming threats in the Red Sea. The attacks, deployed by the Houthi group, comprised of suicide drones, anti-ship ballistic missiles and a pair of land-based cruise missiles. The repeated attempts to disrupt region's peace were effectively neutralized by the U.S. naval forces within a 10-hour window, as reported in an official statement.

The United States have deployed warships including an aircraft carrier in the Red Sea area. This is part of an ongoing operation to safeguard commercial shipping from recurrent aggressive actions by the Iran-affiliated militant faction, the Houthis. The overall aim is to confine and handle the state of conflict systematically and strategically.

Following the incident, CENTCOM issued a reassuring statement confirming that no U.S. vessels sustained damage and no personnel were injured. The precise and quick action of the U.S. naval assets, specifically those aboard the USS LABOON (DDG 58) and the F/A-18 Super Hornets from the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group, led to the timely interception of the incoming threats.

It was reported that the operation, which started around 6:30 a.m. (local time in Sanaa), saw the U.S. forces shooting down twelve drones designed for one-way attacks, three anti-ship ballistic missiles, and two land-based cruise missiles. Despite the high number of attacks, there were no casualties or damage to any of the ships in the entire Red Sea area.

A military spokesperson from the Houthi side declared an attempt to target an additional commercial vessel, MSC United VII, on the same day. As per a translated statement by an affiliate of the Houthis' political wing, the decision came after the vessel's captain neglected three warnings issued by the Houthi group and instead opted to proceed with his journey.
