British Defense Ministry reported on Wednesday that its HMS Diamond ship, in conjunction with United States warships successfully thwarted "the largest attack by the Iranian-backed Houthis in the Red Sea to date," which was reported hours earlier by the US Central Command (CENTCOM).
The UK ministry said that its vessel destroyed several drones, with no injuries or damage reported to the infrastructure and the crew on board.
Previously, CENTCOM said that "Houthis launched a complex attack of Iranian designed one-way attack UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicle] anti-ship cruise missiles, and an anti-ship ballistic missile from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen into the Southern Red Sea," making this the 26th assault on commercial shipping tracks in the Red Sea since November 19.
