Yemen's Houthis claim fresh attacks on 2 US warships in Red Sea.

"We carried out a qualitative military operation, targeting two American warships in the Red Sea. The operation was carried out with a number of naval missiles and drones," Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said in a statement aired by the Houthi-run satellite TV channel al-Masirah. "Our armed forces will not hesitate to expand attacks against all hostile targets to support the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, as well as in response to the US-British aggression against our country (Yemen)," he said. "Our attacks will not stop until the Israeli offensive in Gaza stops and the siege imposed on the Palestinian people is lifted," Sarea added. The US Navy is yet to make a comment on the alleged Houthi attacks. Shortly before the Houthi statement, the US-British military coalition launched five airstrikes on Yemen's port city of Hodeidah, according to al-Masirah TV and local residents. Two airstrikes hit the area of Ras Issa in the al-Salif district northwest of the city, while three others occurred in the area of al-Jabbanah in the western part of the city, reported al-Masirah TV. Local residents said on social media that the airstrikes targeted Houthi mobile missile launchers in both areas. On Monday, Sarea said in a statement aired by al-Masirah TV that his group had fired multiple anti-ship ballistic missiles toward "US Navy ships in the Red Sea and an Israeli commercial vessel, M/V MSC SKY II, in the Gulf of Aden," claiming that the strikes were accurate. However, the US Central Command said in a statement on social media platform X that the Houthi missiles impacted the water but caused no damage to the US Navy ships in the southern Red Sea. yemen news yemen war gaza palastine yemen saudia news saudia #yemen #news #uk
