The United States military on Thursday said it shot down one drone and one anti-ship ballistic missile in the southern Red Sea that were fired by Houthis in its continuing attack on international since Oct. 19.

In post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the US Central Command said the drone and missile that were fired from Yemen between 5:45 - 6: 10 p.m. (Sanaa time) on Dec. 28 were taken down by the US Navy's guided-missile destroyer USS Mason.

"There was no damage to any of the 18 ships in the area or reported injuries," the Central Command's post said.

The attack was the 22nd by the Iran-backed Yemeni militia, which controls a big part of Yemen.
