U.S. intercepts and shoots down Houthi missile aimed at Navy destroyer
in Red Sea
U.S. fighter aircraft intercepted and shot down an anti-ship cruise
missile fired by Yemen-based Houthi rebels in the direction of a U.S.
Navy destroyer in the Red Sea, the Pentagon said late Sunday.
And a missile fired from Yemen in a separate incident struck an
American-owned commercial ship named Eagle Gibraltar in the nearby
Gulf of Aden, a U.K. maritime agency and private security firm said
Monday.

The U.S. commercial ship, which is Marshall Islands-flagged and owned
by Connecticut-based firm Eagle Bulk, was "hit from above by a
missile" but remained seaworthy, according to the U.K. Maritime Trade Operations agency, which cited the ship's captain. The ship's name and ownership were identified by Ambrey Limited, a U.K.-based security
firm and risk consultancy.
