The U.S. Navy engaged Iran-backed Houthi missiles on Tuesday in the Red Sea, the site of significant escalations by the terror group in recent weeks.
The USS Laboon and assets from the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group shot down 12 one-way attack drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles and two land attack missiles fired by the Houthis over a 12-hour period, U.S. Central Command said.
