US Forces Destroy an Anti-ship Missile in Houthi-controlled Area

US forces successfully engaged and destroyed one anti-ship missile in a Houthi controlled area of Yemen on April 4, US Central Command said in a statement on Friday.
There were no injuries or damage reported by US, coalition, or commercial ships, the statement added.
Some 424 US and British airstrikes on targets in Yemen have killed 37 people and wounded 30.
The Houthis have attacked international shipping in the Red Sea since November in solidarity with the Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas militants, drawing US and British retaliatory strikes since February.
Meanwhile, leader of the Houthi militia Abdul Malik al-Houthi said on Thursday that 90 ships had been targeted in the Red Sea and drone attacks had increased and expanded to additional regions.
He said 34 attacks had been launched in a month, using 125 ballistic missiles and drones.
The Houthi attacks have disrupted global shipping, forcing firms to take longer and more expensive journeys around the southern tip of Africa.
