The US military reported intercepting more than 12 drone missiles launched by Yemen-based Houthi rebels at ships in the Red Sea. The Pentagon's Central Command stated that the attack included 12 drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles, and two land-attack missiles over a 10-hour period. The Houthis, claiming responsibility, targeted a commercial ship identified as MSC UNITED and launched drones toward military targets in southern Israel. The attacks are part of a series by the rebels since the Israel-Hamas war, aiming to pressure Israel to halt its offensive in Gaza. The US had established a multinational naval task force to safeguard the Red Sea shipping route, facing increasing threats from Houthi drone and missile strikes.
