[Regnum] The US military struck six drones belonging to the Houthi movement Ansar Allah, which rules northern Yemen, over the Red Sea. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced this on the X social network on March 23.
“Between 06:50 and 09:50 Sanaa time (coinciding with Moscow time), US forces, including the USS Carney (DDG 64), attacked six Houthi unmanned aerial vehicles over the southern Red Sea,” the publication says.
As CENTCOM clarifies, five drones fell into the Red Sea, one disappeared into Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. CENTCOM explains that these drones directly threaten the United States, the coalition and merchant ships in the region.
In addition, according to CENTCOM, the Houthis fired five anti-ship ballistic missiles at the Panama-flagged motor vessel Huang Pu, which is owned by China. One of the missiles was fired directly at the ship; it “received minimal damage, the fire on board was extinguished within 30 minutes,” after which the ship continued on its course.
There were no casualties as a result of the Houthi rocket attack.
Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that the Houthis promised Russia and China not to attack ships belonging to these two countries in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. It is alleged that the parties were able to reach such an agreement following negotiations in Oman. In exchange, the Houthis allegedly expect political support from Moscow and Beijing in international structures, primarily in the UN Security Council.
