The USA hit the Houthis again
The United States military struck 6 anti-ship cruise missiles of the Yemeni Houthis, who were preparing to attack ships in the Red Sea.
This was reported by X Central Command of the US Armed Forces.
In the statement of the American military, it is noted that this missile strike was carried out in self-defense.
On February 3, at approximately 7:20 p.m. (Sana'a time), US Central Command forces conducted self-defense strikes against six Houthi anti-ship cruise missiles that were being prepared to be launched against ships in the Red Sea, CENTCOM said in a statement.
It is also noted that the US military has identified cruise missiles in areas of Yemen controlled by the Houthis and "determined that they pose an immediate threat to US Navy ships and merchant vessels in the region."
This action will protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer for the US Navy and merchant vessels, the Central Command statement said.
Meanwhile, this evening, the Al Masirah TV channel announced that the military forces of the United States and Great Britain had launched a series of strikes on Yemen for the second time in a day, and Houthi targets in Sana'a were attacked.
Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea
Since November of last year, the Houthis began to actively attack commercial vessels that have ties to Israel. The first attacks coincided with the start of Israel's war with the Palestinian group Hamas. In January, the terrorist group struck the biggest blow. The US and British militaries repulsed the attack in the Red Sea. Militants of the group, as before, continued attacks on merchant ships.
The USA and Britain have repeatedly warned that if the attacks of the Houthis continue, then the strikes on their military facilities will be repeated.
On January 17, the United States of America added the Houthis to the list of global terrorist organizations.
US Central Command said yesterday that two anti-ship ballistic missiles had been launched from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, possibly towards a merchant vessel.
