Houthi Rebels Fire Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile “Toward” US Arleigh-Burke Class Destroyer

In a statement on social media platform X, US Central Command said Iran-backed Houthi rebels fired an anti-ship ballistic missile “toward” the USS Carney, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer.

“On Jan. 26, at approximately 1:30 p.m. (Sanaa time), Iranian-backed Houthi militants fired one anti-ship ballistic missile from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen toward Arleigh-Burke class destroyer USS Carney (DDG 64) in the Gulf of Aden. The missile was successfully shot down by USS Carney. There were no injuries or damage reported,” US Centcom wrote.
