U.S. Army says coalition vessel engaged anti-ship ballistic missile launched from Yemen

A coalition vessel successfully engaged one anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM), which was launched from the Iranian-backed Houthi "terrorist-controlled areas" in Yemen over the Gulf of Aden, the U.S. Central Command said in a statement on Thursday. "The ASBM was likely targeting the MV Yorktown, a U.S.-flagged, owned, and operated vessel with 18 U.S. and four Greek crew members," it said.

"There were no injuries or damage reported by U.S., coalition, or commercial ships," it added.
