A U.S. destroyer shot down drones and a missile Tuesday that were launched toward it in the Red Sea.

The assault Tuesday apparently targeted the U.S.S. Carney that has been involved in the American campaign against the rebels who have launched attacks over Israel's war in Gaza. The Houthi attack involved bomb-carrying drones and one anti-ship ballistic missile.

The U.S. later then launched an airstrike destroying three anti-ship missiles and three bomb-carrying drone boats.

In the meantime, the Indian navy has released images of it fighting a fire aboard a container ship earlier targeted by Yemen's Houthi rebels.

The Houthis have not offered any assessment of the damage they've suffered in the American-led strikes that began in January though it has said at least 22 of its fighters have been killed.
