[Regnum] The US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that the military attacked five cruise missiles of the Houthi rebels from the Ansar Allah movement in a series of strikes.
“CENTCOM forces, in self-defense, attacked a Houthi cruise missile,” the military department wrote on social network X.
The strikes targeted four anti-ship cruise missiles in Yemen, each of which was ready to be launched at ships in the Red Sea.
As reported by IA Regnum, the armed forces of the United States and the British military carried out another series of attacks on targets of the Houthis from the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement on February 4.
The provinces of Hodeidah and Saada were subjected to a massive attack. At least 11 missiles were fired at the port of Ras Isa and the city of Ez-Zaidiyah in Hodeidah province, and four more strikes hit the administrative center of Saada province.

Houthis threaten US with 'new Vietnam' in ground attack on Yemen
If the US launches a ground operation in Yemen, the US military may find itself in a more difficult situation than during the conflicts in Afghanistan and Vietnam. This was stated on February 5 by a high-ranking representative of the Ansar Allah movement (Houthis), Muhammad Ali al-Houthi, in an interview with the La Repubblica newspaper.
According to al-Houthi, the people of Yemen are ready for a US ground operation in the country, since in this case they will be able to meet in battle those who are “responsible for their suffering” over the past nine years.
“If the US sends troops to Yemen, it will face a more difficult situation than in Afghanistan and Vietnam. We are ready for different options for inflicting a strategic defeat on the Americans in the region,” he said.
The Houthi spokesman clarified that the movement does not contact the United States directly, but only through the negotiating team in Oman, although Washington tried to establish such contacts.
Al-Houthi noted that the movement does not intend to block the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, and promised that ships not associated with Israel will not suffer damage from the actions of the Houthis. He also threatened Italy that it would become a target for the Houthis if it participated in aggression against Yemen.
As Regnum reported, earlier on February 5, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported a strike on five Houthi cruise missiles. Earlier on the same day, Al Masirah TV channel reported attacks by American and British military forces on the Yemeni provinces of Hodeidah and Saada.
The US military, supported by Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and New Zealand, carried out a new attack on an anti-ship missile in Yemen on February 4.
Ansar Allah military spokesman Yahya Saria on February 2 confirmed a Houthi attack on a British commercial vessel in the Red Sea. He promised that the movement would continue to carry out attacks in the Arabian and Red Seas against Israeli vessels or ships traveling to Palestinian ports.
