Houthis Use Missiles, Drones to Attack US Ships in Arabian Sea…US Navy shoots ‘em all down
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Rebels from the Yemeni Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement said they attacked a US military vessel and three supply ships in the Arabian Sea using several missiles and UAVs, rebel spokesman Yahya Saria said.

"They struck an American destroyer and three supply ships of the American army. The operation was carried out using 16 ballistic and cruise missiles and a drone in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden," he said on the Al Masirah TV channel.
Did they strike or did they merely launch and let Allah see to the intersection of missile and target? The latter is their usual approach — though Allah almost always chooses to prevent the intersection, one way or another…
According to him, the US military supply ships Stena Impeccable, Maersk Saratoga and Liberty Grace were attacked. The Houthis intend to continue attacking US and Israeli-linked ships until the operations against the Gaza Strip cease.

As reported by Regnum, on November 22, the Houthis announced the launch of a hypersonic missile at the Nevatim airbase in Israel. It was claimed that such operations would not be stopped until the end of "Israeli aggression in Gaza and Lebanon."

On November 17, the Ansar Allah movement attacked a target in the southern Israeli city of Eilat, a Houthi spokesman claimed.

On November 12, Yahya Saria announced a successful attack on the US aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea. The operation lasted eight hours. In addition to the aircraft carrier, the Houthis attacked two US destroyers in the Red Sea.

Following the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Yemen's Houthis have warned that they will shell Israeli territory and prevent ships linked to the Jewish state from passing through the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. Since October 7, 2023, they have attacked dozens of ships linked to Israel, the US and the UK.

US Navy destroys Houthi missiles and drones targeting American ships in Gulf of Aden

[IsraelTimes] US Navy destroyers shot down seven missiles and drones fired by Yemen’s Houthi rebels at the warships and three American merchant vessels they were escorting through the Gulf of Aden. No damage or injuries are reported.

US Central Command says that the destroyers USS Stockdale and USS O’Kane shot down and destroyed three anti-ship ballistic missiles, three drones and one anti-ship cruise missile. The merchant ships were not identified.

The USS Stockdale was involved in a similar attack on Nov. 12.
