WASHINGTON, March 5 (Reuters) – U.S. forces on Tuesday shot down one anti-ship ballistic missile and three one-way attack unmanned aerial systems launched from Iranian-backed Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen toward the USS Carney in the Red Sea, the U.S. Central Command said.
U.S. forces later destroyed three anti-ship missiles and three unmanned surface vessels in self-defense, Centcom said in a statement.
