Houthi rebels unsuccessfully attack US warships with drones and missiles
Houthi rebels launched drones and missiles at two U.S. Navy destroyers, according to the U.S. Defense Department.
Summary
On Monday, Yemen’s Houthi rebels unsuccessfully targeted U.S. Navy destroyers USS Stockdale and USS Spruance with drones and missiles in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a key trade route.
The attacks, which involved over a dozen projectiles, resulted in no damage or injuries. The Houthis have escalated Red Sea assaults since the October 2023 Gaza conflict, disrupting global shipping.
Recent U.N. reports indicate the Houthis may be extorting millions monthly from shipping companies. The U.S. has responded with airstrikes on Houthi positions, aiming to counter the group’s expanding threat.

It's curious that the "terrorists" are actually targetting military targets whilst the military are killing civilians.
