US strikes another Houthi anti-ship missile
US Central Command forces on Saturday struck a Houthi anti-ship missile that was aimed into the Gulf of Aden and prepared to launch, the US military says, with the latest round of strikes coming hours after the United States struck three other Houthi anti-ship missiles.
“US forces determined the missile presented a threat to merchant vessels and US Navy ships in the region, and subsequently struck and destroyed the missile in self-defense,” the US Central Command says in a statement on X.
