On Monday, US forces carried out a strike in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, destroying seven anti-ship missiles, three drones, and three weapons storage containers. The operation, conducted between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. local time, was deemed a necessary act of self-defense by US Central Command.
CENTCOM stated that the weapons targeted posed an imminent threat to both merchant vessels and US Navy ships operating in the region. This action comes amidst escalating tensions in the area, fueled by attacks from Iran-backed Houthi militants on commercial ships passing through the strategic waterway.
