Yemen’s Houthis say they will target US, British warships in self defense
Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis say they plan to continue targeting US and British warships in the Red Sea in self defense, the group’s military spokesperson says in a statement carried by Al-Massirah TV.
The Houthis fired missiles at US warship USS Gravely, the statement adds. On Tuesday night, the US military’s central command said they had shot down one anti-ship cruise missile fired from Yemen towards the Red Sea with no damage reported.
