[Regnum] The US military on the night of January 27 attacked an anti-ship missile of the Yemeni Shiite movement Ansar Allah (Houthis), which was preparing to be launched in the direction of the Red Sea, US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported. The message clarifies that she was attacked at approximately 03:45 (which coincides with Moscow time). The command decided to destroy the target, considering that it posed a danger to merchant ships and warships of the US Navy. As Regnum reported, on January 25, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saria announced that Ansar Allah had allegedly hit an American warship with its missile. He clarified that in the Gulf of Aden and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the forces of the movement entered into battle with a whole group of US destroyers and hit them with ballistic missiles. On the night of January 12, the United States and Britain, with the support of the international coalition, attacked Houthi targets in Yemen with missiles. Washington and London explained their actions by protecting ships that sail in the Red Sea and are under attack by representatives of this Yemeni movement. Airstrikes in Yemen have targeted drone production centers and weapons depots. US forces hit targets in the cities of Sanaa, Hodeidah, Saad and Dhamar. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova called the strikes on the territory of Yemen carried out by the United States and Britaincomplete disregard for international law. She noted that their goal is to escalate the situation in the region. |
