Yemen's Houthis launched missile at US fighter jet, missed: Reuters

Houthi forces fired surface-to-air missiles at a U.S. F-16 fighter jet and an MQ-9 Reaper drone on February 19, missing both targets, as reported by senior U.S. Defense officials to Fox News.
This incident marks the first time Houthis targeted a U.S. Fighter jet with surface-to-air missiles, indicating a significant escalation in conflict, according to senior Pentagon officials.
There is an ongoing debate within the U.S. military about how to respond to the Houthi attacks, balancing between counterterrorism and a defensive strategy targeting Houthi infrastructure, as noted by Fox News.
The U.S. Navy has successfully intercepted all missiles and drones launched against its warships, but there are concerns that a missile may eventually hit a vessel, leading to serious consequences.
