2024-02-15 | |
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The United States has launched another strike on Yemen. The target of the American attack was an anti-ship cruise missile of the Houthis' Ansar Allah movement, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said. “On February 13, at approximately 2:35 p.m. Sanaa time, CENTCOM forces, in self-defense, successfully struck a mobile anti-ship cruise missile in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen that was ready to be launched against shipping in the Red Sea,” the US military said. Earlier, on February 12, it became known that the Yemeni Houthis from the Ansar Allah movement attacked the American ship Star Iris in the Red Sea.
It was noted that three missiles, one of which was shot down by an American destroyer, were fired towards the Greek cargo ship MV Star Nasia flying the flag of the Marshall Islands. As a result of the attack, the ship received minor damage. As Regnum reported, on the night of January 11-12, the United States and Britain, as part of an international coalition, began a military operation in Yemen. They used cruise missiles for attacks. Washington and London said the attack was in response to Houthi attacks on ships off the Yemeni coast. On February 3, the United States, with the support of Britain, Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and New Zealand, attacked 36 targets in 13 locations in Yemen. | |

#7 "Indigenously produced cruise missiles" was always a stupid lie. Why we don't pancake Houthi sites historic homelands as a message is stupid. Remove Iranian influence back to the 6th century. Occupy Char Steaks |

#6 Maybe somebody on Diego Garcia was awake, and we waited until the offload into the "rusty skiff" happened to avoid mentioning names or places of origin? The eternal Puppet Show game of pretend it's not the Iranians goes on. |
