Recent reports from US Central Command reveal that US forces have conducted successful attacks on Houthi radars in Yemen, aiming to disrupt the Iranian-backed group's ongoing assaults on ships in the Red Sea. The strikes, which took place late this week, targeted seven radars in Houthi-controlled areas, which were being used to target maritime vessels and endanger commercial shipping.
The need for these actions became evident following a Wednesday attack by Houthi militants on a Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned ship, resulting in severe flooding and damage to the engine room. The crew had to abandon ship and was rescued by US and partner forces, including the USS Philippine Sea. The ship is currently adrift in the Red Sea, taking on water.
