U.S. Central Command and the Houthi rebels reported a new exchange of missiles in the Red Sea. The USS Gravely intercepted an missile launched from areas controlled by Iranian-backed terrorists in Yemen, who then attacked the U.S. ship itself with several rockets.
On Jan. 30, at approximately 11:30 p.m. (Sanaa time), Iranian-backed Houthi militants fired one anti-ship cruise missile from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen toward the Red Sea. The missile was shot down by USS Gravely (DDG 107). There were no injuries or damage reported. pic.twitter.com/Wf1OhwPhhW

Central Command specified in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that after the first attack by the Houthis, "There were no injuries or damage reported."
Shortly after, the Houthi rebels announced that "the navy of the Yemeni Armed Forces, with the help of Almighty God, fired several ... naval missiles against the American destroyer USS Gravely in the Red Sea," according to AFP.
