WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - U.S. Navy destroyers have repelled a series of attacks by Houthi militants in the Gulf of Aden at the weekend.
USS Stockdale and USS O'Kane successfully defeated a range of Houthi-launched weapons while transiting the Gulf of Aden on Saturday and Sunday, the U.S. Central Command said in a press release.
The missile destroyers were escorting three U.S. merchant vessels along the volatile sea trade route.
'The destroyers successfully engaged and defeated three anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBMs), three one-way attack uncrewed aerial systems,' Centcom said.
It noted that the attacks did not cause any injuries or damage to any vessels, their crews or civilians.
