DoD: Second Missile Attack on USS Mason Near Yemen

For the second time this week the USS Mason was targeted by at least one incoming missile fired from a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen. The missiles did not impact the ship and no one was hurt.

 
A U.S. military official said a coastal defense cruise missile was fired from a Houthi-controlled area south of Al Hudaydah around 6 p.m. local time. The ship used countermeasures, but the officials are not yet certain whether the measures stopped the missile or if it fizzled.

 
The USS San Antonio and the USS Ponce was operating in the area with the Mason at the time.

 

Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said Wednesday that the military will respond.
