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. EPA/YAHYA ARHAB

ROMA, 09 APR - Un missile balistico antinave è stato lanciato ieri da un'area dello Yemen controllata dagli Houthi verso il Golfo di Aden, dove una nave della coalizione stava scortando un mercantile operato dall'Italia. Lo afferma il Comando centrale degli Stati Uniti (Centcom), specificando che non sono stati segnalati danni o feriti. In un comunicato pubblicato sul suo account X il Centcom afferma che la nave cargo in questione è la M/V Hope Island, battente bandiera delle Isole Marshall e di proprietà del Regno Unito. Si tratta del quinto lancio missilistico rilevato contro di essa dal Centcom, viene sottolineato nella nota Usa. Il Comando centrale degli Stati Uniti afferma inoltre di aver distrutto ieri un sistema di difesa composto da due missili pronti al lancio e una stazione di controllo a terra nelle aree dello Yemen controllate dagli Houthi e un drone lanciato sul Mar Rosso dai ribelli sostenuti dall'Iran.
