On Monday, the US Central Command announced that US forces successfully destroyed an air defense system in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. The system was equipped with two missiles ready to launch, along with a ground control station. Additionally, a drone launched over the Red Sea was also neutralized by US forces. Fortunately, there were no injuries or damage reported as a result of these operations.
In a separate incident, CENTCOM reported that an anti-ship ballistic missile was launched from a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen towards the Gulf of Aden. The missile was aimed at a coalition ship escorting the M/V Hope Island, a cargo ship flagged in the Marshall Islands, owned by the UK, and operated by Italy. This marked the fifth observed missile launch against the coalition ship and M/V Hope Island. Once again, there were no injuries or damage reported in this incident.
