VIDEO: The US Strikes Yemeni Houthis Again, Targeting 14 Houthi Missiles

The United States has conducted its fourth strike against the armed Houthi movement in Yemen, confirming the information through Pentagon representatives, as reported by the BBC's Russian service.

According to the US Central Command responsible for the Middle East, the strikes were executed using Tomahawk missiles launched from American warships.

The UK Ministry of Defence informed the BBC that it did not participate in this series of strikes directed at Yemen.

The targets included 14 Houthi missiles that were preparing to launch attacks on ships in the Red Sea. These missiles were placed on launch rails, thus posing an "immediate threat to US naval forces' commercial vessels and ships, and could have been launched at any moment, which compelled the US military to exercise its inherent right and obligation to defend itself," stated the announcement.
