Yemen’s Houthi Group Targets US Warship in Red Sea With Missiles

Yemen’s Houthi group on Wednesday launched an assault on the American warship USS Gravely within the Crimson Sea utilizing naval missiles, the group’s navy spokesman, Yahya Sarea, mentioned. The assault was described as a response to the scenario in Gaza and “aggression” towards Yemen. Sarea warned that every one American and British warships within the Crimson and Arabian Seas collaborating within the battle are potential targets. This stance consists of plans to dam Israeli business vessels from transiting the Crimson Sea till hostilities in Gaza stop.

The US Central Command confirmed the interception of a Houthi-fired anti-ship cruise missile by the USS Gravely, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer. No accidents or damages had been reported. This incident follows the Houthi group’s earlier claims of attacking a US warship and a British oil tanker within the Gulf of Aden.
