          US Forces Shoot Down Houthi Missiles And Drones

          Handout photo dated January 15, 2021 shows the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Laboon (DDG 58), steams alongside the Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Vella Gulf (CG 72) in the Atlantic Ocean. On Tuesday, U.S. fighter jets and a warship shot down an onslaught of missiles and attack drones in the southern Red Sea over a 10-hour period, military officials said. The downed weapons included a dozen one-way attack drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles and two land attack cruise missiles. “U.S. assets, to include the USS Laboon and F/A-18 Super Hornets from the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group, shot them down,” said U.S. Central Command, the Pentagon’s top combatant command in the Middle East. “There was no damage to ships in the area or reported injuries.” It wasn’t clear exactly what the drones and missiles were targeting, but U.S. forces in the region have carried out a number of “self-defense strikes” and shot down other drones and rockets in recent months.

              US Navy Ending Aircraft Carrier's Middle East Deployment

              Handout photo dated October 4, 2023 shows the world's largest aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) the Italian navy aircraft carrier ITS Cavour (C 550), the Blue Ridge-class command ship USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20), ITS Ciao Duilio (D 554), ITS Virginio Fasan (F 591) and the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG 60) transit the Ionian Sea. The Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier will return to its home port, the U.S. Navy said on Monday, ending its deployment to the eastern Mediterranean, which started in support of Israel after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants. The nuclear-powered Ford, the Navy's newest carrier with over 4,000 personnel and eight squadrons of aircraft, became a powerful symbol of American support by rushing closer to Israel after the Palestinian militant group's attack.

                File photo dated on June 2023 of the Container Ship Adelina D in the Red Sea in the Straits of Tiran near Sharm El Sheik, Egypt on his way to Aqaba or Eilat. Attacks launched by Yemen's Houthi group on commercial ships at the southern end of the Red Sea have prompted several shipping companies to divert vessels, avoiding a route that would take them through Egypt's Suez Canal in the north and its link to the Mediterranean Sea. The Iran-aligned group says the aim of the attacks is to support the Palestinians as Israel and Hamas wage war. The re-routing adds cost and time to vessel journeys. Oil prices and war risk insurance premiums have spiked as a result. Photo by Christophe Geyres/ABACAPRESS.COM
