U.S. Central Command forces took defensive action on Thursday, conducting seven strikes against Houthi unmanned surface vessels and seven mobile anti-ship cruise missiles in the Red Sea.
The strikes aimed to prevent potential threats to ships in the region. The Houthi militants, aligned with Iran, have been targeting commercial vessels in response to Israel’s military operations in Gaza, causing disruptions to international shipping.
Recent U.S. and British strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen reflect the escalating tensions, with the militia being designated as a “terrorist group” once again.
