The United States Central Command announced on February 3 that it had launched strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen and said that several drones launched by the group, also known as Ansar Allah, were intercepted by a warship and warplanes over the past day.
In a statement, the command said that the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Carney intercepted a drone over the Gulf of Aden.
F/A-18s from the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group also engaged and shot down seven drones over the Red Sea, according to the command.
Four other Houthi drones which were prepared to launch in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen were struck, the command said, adding that the drones presented “an imminent threat to merchant vessels and the U.S. Navy ships in the region.”
“These actions will protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for the U.S. Navy vessels and merchant vessels,” CENTCOM said.
Yemen’s Al-Masirah TV, which is run by the Houthis, said that two “American-British aggressions” targeted the area of al-Jar in the northwestern province of Hajjah with a total of seven strikes on February 2 afternoon. The news channel didn’t report any casualties, however.
The Houthis have targeted dozens of Israel-affiliated vessels and others owned by the U.S. and the United Kingdom since November 19 in response to the ongoing Israeli war and siege on the Gaza Strip, which has so far claimed the lives of more than 27,000 Palestinains.
The U.S. and the UK retaliated by carrying out dozens of strikes on military targets on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen in recent weeks. Nevertheless, the group remains undeterred.
fuck the u.s navy, fuck the u.s military!
missiles are useless here. yankee pilots have been bombing yemen for years already disguised as saudi airforce. time for a showdown. for yemeni this is a religious war and they are serious about it. just watch on youtube: “tell the emir” and “tell the king”.
houthi have already defeated the saudi army, their local proxies and the sudanese army. i have seen vids online of 2 encirclements of large army groupings where many weapons were captured. so basically they can defend themselves for many years now. in the videos above and others they also invite any army to come in and bring more stuff.
us terrorist organization in syria in al tanf, was in all likelihood a zionist massad false flag on us. ling sack of shits.
ofc they never name the dead and never show the drone or site which was hit at all – don’t you love it when the us “gets attacked” none of these satellite channel post anything about it. but if it is against russia, iran, syria and iraq they somehow get it within the 24h…
blame “iranian-backed groups”… when their aa system never works and they put their soldiers in tents during times like these… lmfao.
i’m going to shot my leg and blame it on the company which made the gun.
i am normal copy rat
holm normal lgbt rat
crap i normal retard nazi
the zionists and yanquis bots are hard at work during these time…
remember houthis attacked only on zionists ships (be it part own or fully owned or headed to zionist-stan), it was the us and uk that attacked yemen and now yemen as they said going to attack them and their ships.
remember both the us and uk steal russian, syrian, iranian and other countries ships, they can suc8 on these.
americans like israelis think they can air strike their way to victory. lol…
