The US military's Central Command (CENTCOM) said that it shot down 18 Houthi "one way attack" aerial drones, two anti-ship cruise missiles and one anti-ship ballistic missile over the southern Red Sea, preventing a "complex attack" that threatened dozens of vessels in international shipping lanes.

The attack on Tuesday was the 26th launched by the Yemen-based Houthis on shipping lanes in the Red Sea since November 19 in protest of Israel's war on Gaza.
