Houthi Missile Attack Intercepted in Gulf of Aden
On May 11, 2026, Houthi militants launched two anti-ship ballistic missiles targeting a Greek-flagged bulk carrier in the Gulf of Aden. US CENTCOM assets, including the USS Carney, successfully intercepted one missile and three one-way attack drones over the Red Sea. No injuries or damage to the vessel were reported by the crew. The incident represents a persistent threat to international maritime trade routes despite ongoing coalition airstrikes on Houthi military launch sites.
