Two “American-British” strikes hit the southwestern Yemen province of Taiz late on August 6, according to the Al-Masirah TV.
The news channel, which is run by the Iran-backed Houthis (Ansar Allah), didn’t reveal the target of the strikes or report any losses.
The next day, the United States Central Command announced that its forces intercepted a drone and two anti-ship ballistic missiles which were launched by the Houthis from Yemen over the past 24 hours.
“These weapons presented a clear and imminent threat to U.S. and coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region,” the command said in a statement. “This reckless and dangerous behavior by Iranian-backed Houthis continues to threaten regional stability and security.”
Since November, the Houthis have attacked at least 170 vessels affiliated with Israel or owned by the United States and the United Kingdom in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea in response to the Israeli war and siege on the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip.
In addition, the group launched dozens of drones and missiles at Israel and shot down seven American-made combat drones over Yemen and nearby waters.
The U.S. and the UK have carried out hundreds of strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen since January in an attempt to deter the group, but to no avail. Israel also launched an attack against al-Hodeidah port last month after a deadly Houthi drone strike on the city of Tel Aviv, but was met with more threats by the group.
