WASHINGTON – The US Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted a self-defense strike against one Iranian-backed Houthi surface-to-air missile that was prepared to launch from Houthi controlled areas of Yemen towards the Red Sea, the CENTCOM said in a press release.
CENTCOM forces identified the missile and determined it presented an imminent threat to U.S. aircraft in the region.
The Houthis launched one anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) from Yemen into the Red Sea. There was no impact or damage to any vessels, the note added.
