A U.S. Navy destroyer has been involved in a security incident in the Red Sea, a U.S. official said Thursday.
The USS Carney encountered multiple missiles launched by Houthis in Yemen and fired missiles in response, the official said.
It’s unclear from where the missiles were being fired but they were headed in a northerly direction, the official said.
A second U.S. official confirmed the details of the incident.
The Houthi missiles were not perceived to have been fired at the ship.
The event occurred during early nighttime hours Wednesday night local time.
The missiles fired by the Houthis were engaged by SM2 missiles carried aboard the USS Carney, the first official said.
