(LaPresse) In recent days The United States and Britain hit 36 Houthi targets in Yemen. In addition to the attacks on Saturday, February 3, US Central Command says it conducted an additional “self-defense” strike on Sunday, February 4 against a Houthi anti-ship cruise missile.
A post on US Central Command’s X (formerly Twitter) said the military conducted a new attack Sunday “in self-defense against a Houthi anti-ship cruise missile poised to be fired at ships in the Red Sea.” Saturday’s attacks against the Houthis were launched by US warships and American and British fighter planes. The strikes followed an airstrike in Iraq and Syria on Friday, February 2, that targeted other Iranian-backed militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in retaliation for the drone strike that killed three U.S. soldiers in Jordan last weekend. The Houthi targets were in 13 different locations on Saturday and were hit by US F/A-18 fighter jets from the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, British Typhoon FGR4 fighter planes, and the Navy destroyers USS Gravely and USS Carney , which launched Tomahawk missiles from the Red Sea. (LaPresse)
