In a series of coordinated military actions, U.S. and EU naval forces have responded to Houthi attempts to disrupt shipping in the Red Sea. On March 21, the U.S. military successfully destroyed a barrage of drones aimed at causing a 'double blow' in the Red Sea. The German frigate Hessen, along with a helicopter from the same, played a crucial role in shooting down a Houthi drone and destroying a Houthi unmanned surface vehicle (USV) 'within a few nmi' that threatened shipping. Additionally, a French ship under the EU naval mission EUNAVFORASPIDES intercepted and destroyed '3 ballistic missiles' near the South Red Sea, marking another operational success for the French Navy, specifically the FREMM class frigate FREMM ALSACE (D656) which utilized the 'Aster 30 missile'. Following these defensive actions, the U.S. conducted airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen 'late Friday', targeting storage facilities in Houthi-controlled areas. These strikes, carried out by U.S. fighter jets from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier, aimed at undermining the Houthis' operational capabilities. US Central Command confirmed the destruction of four anti-ship ballistic missiles launched by the Houthis towards the Red Sea and four drones in areas under Houthi control in Yemen.

3 ballistic missiles intercepted by FREMM ALSACE (D656) 🚀💥🎯 BZ ! Another first for the French Navy, in an operational context. I recall in December 2011, an Aster 30 missile fired from an Horizon Air Defense Destroyer downed an Israeli Black Sparrow ballistic missile target. https://t.co/YqC1fcprmt
