US military: No reports of damage to ships in yesterday’s Red Sea Houthi attack
Officials in US CENTCOM say four anti-ship ballistic missiles were launched yesterday from Iranian-backed Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen into the Red Sea.
They say there were no reported injuries or damage from any ship in the area, including the British oil tanker Pollux, which the Houthis claim to have hit.
US forces successfully conducted two self-defense strikes in Yemen, they say.
