On April 3, 2021, between 3:49 and 10:00 am (local time in Sanaa),
the USS Gravely (DDG 107) and forces from the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) successfully intercepted and destroyed one anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) and two unmanned aerial systems (UAS) launched by Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists from Yemen. The targeted missiles were headed towards the USS Gravely in the Red Sea.
There were no reports of injuries or damage to U.S., coalition, or commercial ships as a result of the attacks. Furthermore, during this timeframe, CENTCOM forces destroyed a mobile surface-to-air missile system located in Houthi-controlled territory. The destruction of these systems was deemed necessary as they posed a threat to U.S. and coalition forces and merchant vessels operating in the region.
This incident highlights the ongoing tensions in the region and the efforts being made by CENTCOM to protect American interests and maintain stability in the area.
