U.S. Central Command says Iranian-backed Houthi militants fired a ballistic missile toward the USS Carney in the Gulf of Aden on Friday. 

The projectile was “successfully shot down” by the American destroyer and there were no reports of injuries, according to CENTCOM. 

The attack is the 37th by the Houthis directed at commercial vessels and U.S. Navy ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since Nov. 19.

For weeks, the Yemeni terrorist group’s actions have been disrupting maritime traffic, while the U.S. military has been responding with strikes. 

The USS Gravely, an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, was identified by the official as the ship that intercepted two of the missiles in those attacks.
