Reported in various sources:
A US Navy ship shot down several missiles and drones launched by an Iran-backed militant group on Thursday. The destabilizing incident is one of several that has occurred over the past few days amid soaring tensions across the Middle East. USS Carney (DDG-64) a Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, shot down three land-attack cruise missiles and several drones that were fired by Houthi rebels from Yemen, Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters on Thursday. The threats were traveling in a northern direction along the Red Sea, "potentially" toward targets in Israel, he added, and were shot down over the water.
Shot the missiles, etc, out of the air.

For ORAC: (regarding TBMs moving about in Iran).
If TBM's are fired towards Israel, from Iran, it will be of interest to me to see if the 6th Fleet Aegis-equipped ships are able to hit them. This is allegedly why that task force/CVBG was moved into the Eastern Med.
