The British warship Diamond repelled a drone attack by Yemen's Houthi group in the Red Sea, British officials said. “Diamond destroyed a drone with its Sea Viper missile system without causing injury or damage to Diamond or its crew,” the Defense Department said in a statement. The Iran-aligned Houthi movement began firing waves of explosive drones and missiles at ships on November 19 in response to Israel's military operations in Gaza. In recent days, a tanker was attacked, resulting in a fire on board. U.S. and British warplanes, ships and submarines responded to Houthi attacks on ships with dozens of retaliatory strikes across Yemen against Houthi forces.
