British warship repelled Houthi drone attack in Red Sea
A British warship, the HMS Diamond, repelled a drone attack on Saturday (January 27) from Yemen’s Houthi group in the Red Sea, British officials said.
“Deploying her Sea Viper missile system, Diamond destroyed a drone targeting her with no injuries or damage sustained to Diamond or her crew,“ the Ministry of Defence said in a statement on Sunday (January 28).
The Iran-backed Houthi movement began launching waves of exploding drones and missiles at vessels on Nov. 19 in response to Israel’s military operations in Gaza. On Friday, a tanker vessel was attacked, sparking a fire on board.
U.S. and British warplanes, ships and submarines have responded to the Houthi attacks on shipping with dozens of retaliatory strikes across Yemen against Houthi forces.
