The US Central Command said in a post on X that its forces destroyed an air defense system, two missiles ready for launch, a ground control station in areas controlled by “Ansar Allah” in Yemen, and a system of drones launched from Yemen on the Red Sea.
The group in Yemen said on Sunday that they had fired missiles and drones at British, US and Israeli ships in the latest attacks as part of a campaign to target ships to show support for the Palestinians in the war on Gaza.
US Central Command said on Sunday that an anti-ship ballistic missile was launched from an area controlled by “Ansar Allah” in Yemen towards the Gulf of Aden, with no reports of injuries or damage to US, coalition, or commercial ships.
Ansar Allah attacks are disrupting global shipping traffic through the Suez Canal, forcing companies to change routes to longer, more expensive journeys around southern Africa.
The United States and Britain launch strikes on the group’s targets in Yemen.
