The United Kingdom's Royal Navy destroyer, HMS Diamond, was forced to defend itself with Sea Viper missiles as the militants continued their relentless campaign of attacks.
Britain's Ministry of Defense said it had "successfully repulsed" a Houthi drone attack launched on HMS Diamond.
The warship used its Sea Viper missiles to destroy the insurgent threat in the engagement. This ship has already faced off against the Houthis, who continue their aggressive campaign on one of the busiest sea lanes in the world.
Yesterday, HMS Diamond successfully repelled a drone attack launched by the Iranian-backed Houthis in the Red Sea. Deploying its Sea Viper missile complex, Diamond destroyed the drone targeting it, while Diamond and its crew were not injured, the British Ministry of Defense said.
Yemeni Houthis attack ships in the Red Sea: what is known
Since November of last year, attacks by the Yemeni Houthis on commercial vessels with ties to Israel have continued in the Red Sea.
In January 2024, the terrorist group launched its most significant attack. The US and British militaries repulsed the attack in the Red Sea.
In early January, the United States and Great Britain launched powerful strikes against targets associated with the Houthis in Yemen. This was in response to the Houthis' constant attacks on civilian vessels in the Red Sea.
