America is continuously aggressive against Yemen’s Houthi rebels. America once again launched an attack against ballistic missiles of Houthi rebels. This is America’s third attack. America’s Central Command shared information about the attack by tweeting on Twitter. The White House says that if the group attacks further, America will also counter them and give a befitting reply.
Test blasts of four missiles of the group
The US Command Post tweeted that Houthi was carrying out continuous attacks against international ships. At 1.45 pm on 16 January, rebels launched an anti-ship missile. The Greek Ministry of Shipping and Island Policy reported that the ship was heading north towards the Suez Canal. In which the flag of the country Malta was attached. However, according to the US, no one was injured in the attacks and the ship did not suffer much damage. After this attack by the rebels, the US military attacked and destroyed their anti-ship missiles. The US destroyed four ballistic missiles prepared for launch by the rebels in the strike.
America will respond to further attacks
White House official John Kirby says the US will counter the group if it continues attacks. Kirby held a press conference Tuesday. During this, when he was asked about the damage caused in the last two attacks, he said that I will send you to the Pentagon for information about this. The Pentagon is right to answer this question. I had already said that the Houthis would retaliate in some form or the other after our attack, and they did. The US attacked them to retaliate and to cripple their military capability. However, as far as assessment of war damage is concerned, the Pentagon can give a better answer. Kirby further said that we know that the group still has military power. Now he has to decide how he will use this power. If they continue the attacks, we will also give a befitting reply to the attacks and fight them appropriately. Like we did today.
The US military said on Tuesday that it had also seized Iranian-made missiles and weapons from a ship heading for Houthi rebels in an operation. However, during this period two American commandos went missing.
