The US successfully thwarted two anti-ship ballistic missiles launched by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, responding to a distress call from the Maersk Hangzhou, a Singapore-flagged container ship. The vessel reported a missile strike, prompting the US to intercept the threats. This incident marks the 23rd attack by Houthis on international shipping since November 19. The US, along with other nations, maintains a maritime task force to address the growing challenges posed by such attacks in the Red Sea. No injuries were reported in this latest interception, according to the US Central Command.
