The Pentagon said on Thursday that a US Navy ship shot down missiles and drones that had been fired by Houthi rebels in Yemen, suggesting they could have been aimed at Israel.
Three "land-attack cruise missiles and several drones" were intercepted by a destroyer, a spokesman told reporters.
"They were launched from Yemen heading north along the Red Sea, potentially towards targets in Israel," said Pentagon press secretary Patrick Ryder.
