The US military's Central Command said US and UK forces shot down 21 drones and missiles fired by the Yemen-based Houthi movement on Tuesday into the southern Red Sea towards "international shipping lanes".
No injuries or damage were reported, according to the US Central Command.
There was no immediate from the Houthis.
The Yemeni group has stepped up attacks on Israeli-linked and Israeli-bound commercial vessels in the Red Sea in protest against the war in Gaza.
US Central Command said 18 drones, two anti-ship cruise missiles and one anti-ship ballistic missile were shot down by US and British forces.
