| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The US military struck a ready-to-launch surface-to-air missile belonging to the Houthi rebels of the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen. This was reported on March 2 by the US Central Command (CENTCOM). The strike was carried out in self-defense on March 1 at approximately 12:40. The missile was located in Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen and was aimed at the Red Sea, the command said in a statement on the X social network. It was also noted that at 22:46 the Houthis launched one anti-ship ballistic missile from Yemen towards the Red Sea, as a result of which no ships were damaged. As Regnum reported, after the escalation of the conflict in the Gaza Strip, the Ansar Allah movement threatened strikes on Israeli territory and attacks on ships associated with it that try to pass through the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. In February, the EU announced the launch of Operation Aspides amid attacks by the Yemeni Houthis on ships. The operation to ensure the safety of navigation in the Red Sea has been launched for a period of one year. Ships voluntarily provided by EU countries will participate in it. Start smoking Houthi leadership and this will taper off. |
