[Regnum] Militants of the Yemeni Shiite movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) shot down an American warship with a missile during a clash with US Navy destroyers in the Gulf of Aden and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. This was announced on January 25 by Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saria on the social network H.
He said a clash occurred between Houthi naval forces and several US destroyers and warships in the Gulf of Aden and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which were providing protection to two US commercial vessels.
“The operation resulted in a direct hit on an American warship and forced two American merchant ships to divert from their route,” Saria wrote.
The military spokesman clarified that the clash lasted more than two hours and during which Yemeni rebel forces used anti-ship missiles.
As Regnum reported, on the night of January 12, the United States and Britain launched missile attacks on Houthi targets in Yemen, calling it a response to attacks on their commercial ships in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
On the night of January 23, the United States and Great Britain again attacked Houthi targets in Yemen with Tomahawk missiles from warships and submarines. They also deployed fighter jets to destroy missile and drone depots and movement launchers.
The UK Navy's Maritime Trade Coordination Center (UKMTO) reported on January 24 a new attack on a British ship off the coast of Yemen. According to him, the attack occurred 50 nautical miles south of the Yemeni port of Moha.
