The US Navy shot down 21 Houthi missiles and drones launched from Yemen, according to a statement from US Central Command, in one of the largest Houthi attacks to take place in the Red Sea in recent months.
The strike is the latest in a series of attacks against commercial shipping in the Red Sea that the Yemeni rebels have linked to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
Missiles hit Dar al-Hadith - a religious school and a mosque - in the residential neighborhood of al-Aumd late Sunday and the casualties included women and children.
