"These weapons presented a clear and imminent threat to U.S. and coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region," according to CENTCOM.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) reported on Tuesday that U.S. forces had intercepted over the Red Sea one drone and two anti-ship ballistic missiles launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels.
“These weapons presented a clear and imminent threat to U.S. and coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region. This reckless and dangerous behavior by Iranian-backed Houthis continues to threaten regional stability and security,” said CENTCOM.
The Yemeni TV channel Al–Masirah, which is affiliated with the Houthis, reported on Wednesday that the United States and the United Kingdom had attacked targets in Yemen’s southwest Taez district.
