Anti-ship Missile

US-led coalition forces off the coast of Yemen shot down four drones and an anti-ship missile launched by Houthi rebels Wednesday, American authorities said, as the Iran-backed group's attacks on Red Sea shipping continued.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said it conducted self-defence strikes on Thursday against four mobile Houthi anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCM) and one Houthi unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.

One of two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired by Yemen's Houthis at the container vessel M/V MSC SKY II in the Gulf of Aden hit the ship and caused "damage", the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Tuesday.

Indian Navy warships deployed off the coast of Yemen have been tracking the launch of anti-ship ballistic missiles and cruise missiles and stand ready to intercept them if required.

Houthi Attack: US forces struck an anti-ship missile in Houthi-held Yemen that they said was ready to fire early Saturday, hours after the Iran-backed rebels caused a fire on a British tanker in the Gulf of Aden with a similar munition.

Iran-backed Houthis on Wednesday fired three anti-ship ballistic missiles at the US Ship Maersk Detroit transiting the Gulf of Aden.

The United States carried out fresh strikes against Yemen's Huthi rebels Saturday, the military said, targeting an anti-ship missile that was "prepared to launch."

The US military on Tuesday carried out a new strike in Yemen targeting anti-ship ballistic missiles in a Houthi-controlled part of the country, two US officials told Reuters, the latest military action against Iran-backed group over its targeting of

Yemen's Huthi rebels hit a US-owned cargo vessel with a missile on Monday, the US military said, heightening fears for the volatile region after repeated attacks on shipping triggered American and British strikes.

Yemen's Houthis launched an anti-ship ballistic missile on Friday in retaliation for overnight American and British strikes targeting the Iran-backed rebels, a US general said.

Did the world just see the first combat use of anti-ship ballistic missiles? Military analysts think so. The weapon used by Iran-backed Huthi rebels to attack ships in the Red Sea was not a conventional sea-skimming variety of anti-ship missiles.

An American destroyer shot down two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired from Yemen Saturday as it responded to a call for help from a container ship that was hit in a separate strike, the US military said.

An American warship shot down a drone and an anti-ship ballistic missile fired Thursday by Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels, the US military said.

Taiwan will buy as many as 400 U.S. land-launched Harpoon missiles in the face of rising threat from China, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing a trade group's leader and people familiar with the issue.

The test firing validated the capability to engage the weapon as an anti-ship missile, officials said.
