[Regnum] Yemen's Houthi movement Ansar Allah launched a missile attack on the US Navy ship USS Lewis B. Puller in the Gulf of Aden. This was stated by the military representative of the movement, Yahya Saria.

“The Yemeni navy fired an anti-ship missile at the US ship Lewis B. Puller on Sunday while it was in the Gulf of Aden,” Saria said on Al-Masirah TV.

As Regnum reported, on January 25, the military representative of the Houthi organization, Yahya Saria, announced the start of a military operation by the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement against US Navy ships in the Gulf of Aden and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. He clarified that a day earlier, in these waters, the group collided with several American military vessels that were providing protection to two commercial ships. According to a spokesman for the movement, the missiles that the Houthis launched towards the enemy were able to reach their targets, and the operation lasted about two hours.

On the night of January 12, the United States and Britain launched missile attacks on Ansar Allah installations in Yemen in response to attacks on their ships in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. At the same time, Washington and London continued to attack targets on Yemeni territory.

The Pentagon said that since the beginning of the military operation, the US military has destroyed or damaged more than 25 launchers and over 20 missiles in Yemen, and also attacked UAV base areas, coastal radars and aerial reconnaissance assets on Yemeni territory.

#4  Maybe they are waiting on Congress to officially declare war before conducting hostilities.

Yeah, yeah, there's another pint hidden from the kids behind the rake and trash bags.

US is perhaps continuing to gather target related info. Sometimes this can be done quickly, some times not so much.
