U.S. Army Says It Destroyed Houthi Missile System In Yemen

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on September 12 that its forces destroyed a missile system of the Iran-backed Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen a day earlier.

The system “presented a clear and imminent threat to U.S. and coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region,” the command said in a statement, adding that its forces took action to “protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S., coalition, and merchant vessels.”

The CENTCOM didn’t provide any details about the targeted missile system, or clarify in which part of Yemen it was struck. It’s worth noting that there were no reports of any strikes against the country on September 11.

Since November, the Houthis have attacked dozens of vessels affiliated with Israel or owned by the U.S. and the United Kingdom in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea in response to the Israeli war on the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip.

The group also launched dozens of drones and missiles at Israel and shot down at least nine American-made combat drones over Yemen and nearby waters.

The U.S. and the UK have carried out hundreds of strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen since January. Israel also launched an unprecedented attack against the Red Sea port of al-Hodeidah last July after a deadly Houthi drone strike on the city of Tel Aviv.

The strikes on Yemen have so far claimed the lives of more than 50 people, including civilians, and left over 200 others wounded. Still, they failed to deter the Houthis or degrade their military capabilities.

houthi can miss one missile system, because they have plenty. just watch their military parades online. if you do not believe me, just send another aircraft carrier within striking range of yemen🤡

if they wanted to end the action with the houthis they would invade. they don’t they probably are supplying them their weapons under cover of fake identities.

america is in imperial overstretch mode. the petro dollar era is coming to an end. everybody knows it’s over and that’s why 159 nations joined brics.

so it’s either a gotterdammerung or an internal economic collapse and internal strife for america.
