Royal Navy Ship Shoots Down Houthi Drones in Red Sea Attack After UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps Sends Houthi Rebels a Grave Warning

British and US Warships Shoot Down MORE Missiles Fired by Houthi Rebels - UK and US Hint at Further More Serious Military Action After Largest Houthi Attack in Red Sea


Daily Mail 11 JAN 2024





























British and American warships have shot down a huge wave of missiles and drones fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels after the militants' largest attack in the Red Sea to date. Dramatic pictures showed the moment the British Destroyer shot down the huge wave of missiles and drones fired by the Iranian-backed rebels.

HMS Diamond, a £1billion ($1.2billion) Type 45 destroyer known as the jewel of the Royal Navy, shot down the targets with a barrage of Sea Viper missiles - which travel three times the speed of sound. US fighter jets were also involved in the operation.


Defence Secretary Grant Shapps called the Houthi attack 'the largest to date' and said the UK had taken action to 'protect innocent lives and the global economy'. He said none of HMS Diamond's crew had been injured. The Houthis are an Iranian backed militia that has been pummelling merchant ships in the Red Sea for months, forcing a coalition of nations including the UK and USA to deploy warships to protect them.

The rebels say their assaults are aimed at stopping Israel's war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. But their targets are increasingly random, raising the risk of a US retaliatory strike on Yemen. The attacks are disrupting maritime trade through the Suez canal - a crucial route linking Europe with Asia and the Middle East - leading to delays and price rises for consumers.

Mr Shapps said: 'Overnight, HMS Diamond, along with US warships, successfully repelled the largest attack from the Iranian-backed Houthis in the Red Sea to date. Deploying Sea Viper missiles and guns, Diamond destroyed multiple attack drones heading for her and commercial shipping in the area, with no injuries or damage sustained to Diamond or her crew.

The UK alongside allies have previously made clear that these illegal attacks are completely unacceptable and if continued the Houthis will bear the consequences. We will take the action needed to protect innocent lives and the global economy.'








US and UK Navies Repel Largest Houthi Attack



Carrier-based jets and warships shot down 21 drones and missiles launched by the Iran-backed group overnight.


The Houthis said they targeted a US ship in retaliation for the killing of rebels who tried to attack a container ship by using speedboats last month.
