UK and US naval forces have “repelled the largest attack by the Iranian-backed Houthis in the Red Sea to date”, British Defence Secretary Grant Shapps said on Wednesday.

A British warship destroyed “multiple attack drones with her guns and sea viper missiles”, Shapps added, hours after Washington said the two countries’ forces had shot down 18 drones and three missiles on Tuesday.
