Yemen’s Houthis fired four anti-ship missiles over Red Sea, US CENTCOM says
Yemen’s Houthis launched in the past 24 hours four anti-ship ballistic missiles from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen over the Red Sea, the US military’s Central Command says, adding there were no injuries or damage reported by American, coalition or commercial ships.
The Iran-backed Houthis, who control much of Yemen, have launched dozens of drone and missile strikes into the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden since November, describing their attacks as a campaign of support for Palestinians in Gaza amid Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas.
The Houthis have also fired several ballistic missiles and drones at Eilat.
