The militant group launched one inbound anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) and two unmanned aerial systems (UAS) towards the US Navy’s guided-missile destroyer USS Gravely while it was patrolling in the area, CENTCOM said.

CENTCOM forces along with the naval ship successfully took down the drones as well as one mobile surface-to-air missile system in the Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen.

UAS and ASBM are two kinds of drones that the Houthis have been using to attack commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
