The rebel organisation fired ballistic missiles against the US warship, naval missiles at a ship named the Captain Paris, and drones at a ship named the Happy Condor, according to a statement released by Yahya Saree, the Houthi military spokeswoman. Whether any of the targets were struck was unclear.
