US Navy Destroyers Repel Houthi Drone and Missile Assault Off Yemen

The Pentagon's chief weapons buyer expressed shock at the sophistication of the Houthi rebels' arsenal, which includes advanced missiles and drones disrupting international shipping near Yemen. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have been targeting ships in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, with recent attacks on U.S. Navy destroyers. Despite U.S. military strikes on Houthi weapons storage sites, the group's capabilities continue to pose a significant threat to regional security and international shipping lanes.
