[Regnum] Two American naval destroyers attacked the Ansar Allah movement that rules northern Yemen in the Red Sea. This was announced on March 5 by the military representative of the movement, Yahya Saria, on the social network H.
It is clarified that the naval forces, missile forces and air force of Yemen attacked American destroyers with the help of several anti-ship missiles and drones. A Houthi spokesman called the military operation unique.
Saria stressed that the Houthis, if necessary, can expand operations against hostile targets and will continue them until the siege on the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is lifted and “American-British aggression does not stop.”
Earlier, Regnum reported that the US military was able to intercept two anti-ship cruise missiles over the Red Sea. US Central Command (CENTCOM) indicated that the missiles posed an immediate threat to commercial and US Navy ships in the region.
On March 2, CENTCOM announced a strike against a ready-to-launch Houthi surface-to-air missile in Yemen. According to the US military, the missile was aimed at the Red Sea.
The day before, the Yemeni state agency SABA reported that the British cargo ship Rubymar, attacked by the Houthis on February 19, sank in the Red Sea. The US military confirmed on March 3 that a British cargo ship attacked by the Ansar Allah movement in the Gulf of Aden was damaged and sank; the ship was sailing under the flag of Belize.
The ruling Houthi rebel movement in northern Yemen, Ansar Allah, controls most of Yemen's Red Sea coast. As the Middle East conflict escalated, the Houthis began attacking ships associated with Israel, causing a sharp decline in shipping traffic through the Suez Canal.

US intercepts two cruise missiles in the Red Sea
The US military was able to intercept two anti-ship cruise missiles over the Red Sea. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced this on March 5 on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
“At 20:00 (Moscow time), CENTCOM forces carried out two self-defense strikes against two anti-ship cruise missiles that posed a direct threat to commercial and US Navy ships in the region,” the report said.
It is noted that, according to the command, in the period from 15:50 to 16:15, the rebel Yemeni movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) launched two anti-ship cruise missiles at a container ship flying the flag of Liberia. One of the missiles hit the ship and caused damage, but no one was injured as a result. After the incident, the container ship did not request assistance and continued on its course.
As Regnum reported, on March 2, CENTCOM announced a strike on a Houthi surface-to-air missile ready for launch in Yemen. According to the US military, the missile was aimed at the Red Sea.
Earlier in the day, the Yemeni state agency SABA reported that the British cargo ship Rubymar, attacked by the Houthis on February 19, sank in the Red Sea.
