Kuwait: Yemen’s Houthis have struck once, with information emerging of an oil tanker damaged and a US helicopter shot down amid escalating tensions over Israel’s unpleasant in Gaza, Al Jazeera reported.
In his latest televised target, the Houthis ‘ military official, Yahya Saree, claimed responsibility for targeting the” American oil send Andromeda Star” in the Red Sea with marine weapons. The vessel sustained minor damage, according to the US Central Command ( CENTCOM), but is continuing its journey unimpeded.
The sea military alliance deployed in the area did not report any injuries, according to the report.
Saree even announced the parliament of a MQ- 9 Harvester aircraft that the US government operated, claiming that it was shot down while carrying out angry missions in Yemen’s Saada governorate. The US government has yet to post on the event, but CBS News confirmed the fall of an MQ- 9 inside Yemen, sparking an continuing investigation, according to Al Jazeera.
This is the next US drone that the Houthis have shot down since the start of the conflict in Gaza, with previous situations occurring in November and February. Despite this, the Houthis have remained motionless on more attacks against ships in nearby lakes despite the US military reporting anti-ship missile launches against the MV MAISH, a ship flying the Antigua/Barbuda symbol.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations ( UKMTO ) confirmed two attacks on a vessel, likely the MV Andromeda Star, near al- Mukha ( Mocha ) in Yemen. The vessel was hit initially by an explosion that occurred close to it, followed by another one that involved two missile attacks that caused harm.
The Houthi government’s subsequent actions come in response to their claim that they shot at the” Israeli send MSC Darwin” in the Gulf of Aden and fired missiles and drones at targets in Eilat, Israel’s southern port area. Due to this, they had attacked the US-flagged Maersk Yorktown and the Israeli-linked MSC Veracruz, which sparked US and UK warship defense actions.
Abdel- Mian albert- Houthi, the party’s innovator, dismissed suggestions of diminished defense abilities, asserting that more attacks are inevitable. Addressing protesters in Sanaa and beyond, he declared a fresh drama of fight, targeting ships in the Indian Ocean as also, as reported by Al Jazeera.
If Israel stops its offensive in Gaza, the Houthis have pledged to put an end to their problems on one of the busiest sea routes in the world. These problems have not only hampered international business, but also negatively impacted customers at Israel’s Eilat port.
Large-scale protests have been a regular occurrence in Yemen’s Houthi-controlled areas since the fight started, showing solidarity with Palestinians and condemning Israel and its supporters. Following military operations by Washington and London in Yemen, the Houthis have since expanded their priorities to incorporate US and UK arteries. At first, they were focused on Israeli-linked ships in the Bab al-Mandeb sea.
Thousands more people are reported to be joining demonstrations in Yemen, highlighting the popular support for their cause, according to Al Jazeera.
