US Navy Repels Houthi Drone and Missile Assault Near Yemen

Two U.S. Navy destroyers, USS Stockdale and USS Spruance, were attacked by Houthi rebels using drones and missiles while navigating a strait between Yemen and Djibouti. The attack was successfully countered by the destroyers, and the U.S. responded with airstrikes targeting Houthi weapon storage facilities. This incident is part of ongoing regional tensions involving Iran-backed groups, with recent similar attacks on U.S. forces in Syria. The Navy has been actively engaged in combat operations in the region, with several ships previously awarded for their actions under fire.
