American forces have struck against the Houthi movement in Yemen on Sunday, the US operational headquarters Centcom writes in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
According to the post, they allegedly fired at a total of five robots that were said to be “ready to be fired at ships in the Red Sea”.
The attack comes after the US and UK on Saturday attacked 36 targets in 13 locations in Yemen, which were said to belong to the Houthi movement. Even then, robots were one of the targets.
The Houthi movement, with close ties to and support from Iran, has been controlling a large part of Yemen for almost a decade. Alongside the war in Gaza, the movement has carried out attacks and attempted hijackings against merchant and warships in the Red Sea, prompting the US and UK to respond by attacking its strongholds on Yemeni soil.
The Houthi movement – which has carried out several attacks in the Red Sea since November – has threatened to attack any ship that could possibly benefit Israel, as revenge for the Gaza war.
