US forces launch self-defense strike targeting Houthi missile in Yemen, track projectile in Gulf of Aden

American forces have taken out a missile in Iranian-backed Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen that was being prepared to launch at ships in the Red Sea.

Then, about seven hours later, CENTCOM said a single anti-ship ballistic missile was launched from those same parts of Yemen toward the Gulf of Aden.  Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.

"U.S. Navy ships tracked the missile but took no action because the missile was not projected to impact near any ships. There were no reports of injuries or damage from ships in the area.," CENTCOM wrote in a post on X.
