The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said that USS Thomas Hudner destroyed several one-way attack drones that it believes were launched from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen.
"The drones were shot down while the US warship was on patrol in the Red Sea," the Command said, adding that neither the vessel nor the crew sustained damage or injuries.
Over the past weeks, Yemen's Houthi rebel group targeted Israeli ships in the Red Sea, saying the attacks were in response to the ongoing crisis in the Gaza Strip.
