The USS Kearney, a United States Navy ship, successfully intercepted a Houthi missile in the Red Sea earlier today, according to the Pentagon. The attack, which was carried out by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, is the latest in a series of attempted attacks in the region. Fortunately, no damage or injuries have been reported thus far.
The Houthi rebels, who have been engaged in a protracted conflict with the internationally recognized government of Yemen, have targeted Saudi Arabia and commercial shipping in the Red Sea on multiple occasions. They have used missiles, drones, and other weapons to carry out these attacks. The US and other regional allies have been keeping a close eye on the situation and have taken measures to deter and intercept such attacks when possible.
