| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The US military struck four anti-ship cruise missiles and one drone in an Ansar Allah (Houthi)-controlled part of Yemen. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced this on March 8 on the X social network. “Between 15:35 and 16:55 Sanaa time (Moscow time), CENTCOM carried out self-defense strikes against four Houthi anti-ship cruise missiles and one Houthi unmanned aerial vehicle in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen,” the report said. The command also announced three downed drones moving towards the Gulf of Aden. As Regnum reported, on March 5, the US military intercepted two anti-ship cruise missiles over the Red Sea. It was noted that the 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. Later that day, Ansar Allah military spokesman Yahya Saria announced an attack on two American destroyers in the Red Sea. A Houthi spokesman called the operation unique. Al Jazeera reported on March 6 that the Houthis attacked an American ship near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Earlier, the British Navy's Maritime Trade Coordination Center (UKMTO) announced a new attack on the ship. |
