An American destroyer shot down two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired from Yemen Saturday as it responded to a call for help from a container ship that was hit separately, the US Central Command (Centcom) said.
Centcom said the US destroyers Gravely and Laboon responded to a request for assistance from the Maersk Hangzhou, a Singapore-flagged, Denmark-owned and operated container ship that reported being struck by a missile while transiting the Red Sea.
While responding, missiles were launched toward the ships from territory controlled by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels, Centcom said.

Looks like Operation Globohomo Guardian not getting it done.
Why is Yemen not being nuked from Space?
Or Iran? Iran is behind this.
President Retard attacks the symptoms instead of the disease
I hope the Navy has a plan to conserve its magazines of $1-2 million-dollar interceptor missiles (such as Standard, RAM & ESSM) against cheap Houhti missiles and drones.
This situation seems tailor-made for DEW, if only they had it operational on every combat ship.
The sad state of journalism.
And Jimmy Carter placed the creeps into power in Iran. On the global stage, Jimmy Carter was the Village idiot.
Destroying incoming missiles and drones is good, but better to also target and destroy the launch sites. Our satellites should give them exact coordinates. Since this is standard operating procedures in war, why aren’t we doing so???
Because eventually we’d be nuked from space.
This entire defensive position with no offensive position is a loser.
Instead of shooting down missiles, how about shooting where they are being launched? What am I missing?
That they are fired from vehicles in a remote desert ?
Shooting who is causing them to be launched and extracting a price sufficient to deter further acts.
“Since this is standard operating procedures in war, why aren’t we doing so???”
That’s what they’re trying so hard to get us to do. Think it through — where do their weapons and training come from and whose objectives would be accomplished if we directly engaged that entity?
If an Iranian oil installation was wiped out for each drone or missile launched they would end pretty quick but President Retard is too stupid
The fact that the Houthis are working for us.
Why is Yemen not being nuked from Space?“
Because we have a lying, corrupt, C student with dementia as President
