The top leader of Yemen's Houthis, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, said in a televised address, that his group had managed to stop the navigation of Israel-linked ships through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, just hours after the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) attacked missiles from the Houthis that were ready to be launched against merchant ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis have kept up drone and missile attacks on ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, with the aim of ending the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip, and in response to US-led retaliatory strikes. In January 2024, the US Department of State designated Yemen's Houthis as a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist group' due to their increased attacks on shipping lanes. In December 2023, the US Department of Defense announced a multinational operation to safeguard trade and protect ships in the Red Sea in response to the escalation of Houthi attacks.

ROMA, 09 FEB - Le forze del Comando centrale (Centcom) degli Stati Uniti hanno condotto ieri in Yemen sette attacchi di "autodifesa" contro quattro droni marini e sette missili da crociera mobili antinave Houthi che erano pronti per essere lanciati nel Mar Rosso. Lo afferma lo stesso Centcom in un post sul suo account X, confermando notizie date in giornata dei media vicini ai ribelli filoiraniani yemeniti. "Tra le 5 e le 21 dell'8 febbraio ora di Sanaa, le forze del Comando centrale degli Stati Uniti hanno condotto sette attacchi di autodifesa contro quattro navi di superficie senza pilota (usv) e sette missili da crociera mobili antinave che gli Houthi erano pronti a lanciare contro imbarcazioni nel Mar Rosso", si legge nel comunicato Usa. "Il Centcom ha identificato questi missili e usv nelle aree dello Yemen controllate dagli Houthi e ha stabilito che rappresentavano una minaccia imminente per le navi della marina americana e quelle mercantili nella regione", afferma il Comando combattente unificato delle forze armate Usa aggiungendo che "queste azioni proteggeranno la libertà di navigazione e renderanno le acque internazionali più sicure".
