The rebels “launched multiple anti-ship missiles against the US destroyer USS Gravely in the Red Sea,” the Houthis said in a statement.
The Shia rebels Houthis in Yemen announced today that they targeted an American ship in the Red Seahours after the US military pointed out that shot down a missile that they launched.
The rebels “launched multiple anti-ship missiles against the US destroyer USS Gravely in the Red Sea,” they said in a statement.
The Houthis also added that they intend to continue targeting American and British ships in the Red Sea in self-defense, their military spokesman said, in a statement broadcast by al Massirah TV.
Yesterday, Tuesday evening, the US military command in the Middle East (Centcom) announced that it shot down an anti-ship missile launched from Yemen towards the Red Sea, while there were no reports of damage.
The Houthis, who control large areas of Yemen, have been attacking ships in and around the Red Sea in a show of solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza.
