Washington, DC—A US Navy ship in the Red Sea on Thursday shot down missiles and drones that had been fired by Iran-backed Huthi rebels in Yemen, possibly at Israel, the Pentagon said.

Ryder said that missiles were fired from Yemen where the Iranian-backed Huthi rebels are at war with a government backed by a Saudi-led coalition. “We cannot say for certain what these missiles were targeting, but they were launched from Yemen, heading north along the Red Sea.”“We have the capability to defend our broader interests in the region and to deter regional escalation and broader expansion of the conflict that began with Hamas’ attack on Israeli civilians.”

US media reported the troops being readied for deployment would cover support roles, such as medical assistance and handling explosives.
