Houthis Warn Biden After Fresh Ship Attack; Ship ‘Attacked’ near Houthi Bastion in Red Sea
SANAA : Yemen’s Houthi militant group has issued a big warning to the United States. Houthis said the U.S. will be punished if it continues with reckless actions on behalf of Israel. The statement was made by Safar Al-Sufi, secretary to Houthi Leader Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi.
The warning comes as a Malta-flagged ship reported three blasts after missile attacks in the Red Sea near Yemen’s Mocha. The U.S. Central Command said the ballistic missiles were fired by Houthi militants. According to U.S. Centcom, this was the 24th attack against merchant ships in the southern Red Sea since November 19. Watch this report for more.
