U.S. Army Says It Destroyed Houthi Remote-Controlled Suicide Boat In Yemen

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced May 1 that its forces engaged and destroyed an uncrewed surface vessel (USV) in areas controlled by the Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen a day earlier.

“It was determined the USV presented an imminent threat to U.S., coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region,” the command said in a statement. “These actions are taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S., coalition, and merchant vessels.”

CENTCOM didn’t specify where exactly the USV was destroyed. However, Yemen’s Al-Masirah TV, which is run by the Houthis, reported “American-British” strikes on the western province of al-Hodeidah on April 30.

The strikes targeted the port of Ras Issa in the northwestern district of al-Salif, the news channel said without providing additional details.

Since last November, the Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have attacked dozens of vessels affiliated with Israel or owned by the U.S. and the United Kingdom in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean in response to the Israeli war and siege on the Palestinian Gaza Strip.

In addition, the group carried out a number of drone and missile attacks against Eilat and shot down three U.S. combat drones.

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 Houthis, but to no avail.

the usa need more enemys like the huthis normaly such factions allways work for them and fight their enemies. so they get some of their own medizine. an enemy like urkaine who tries to hit them as much as they can no matter how much losses they have is something else they need. they are setting fires everywhere on the planned and nothing happens near them. whoever wants to make the usa sane again needs to let them feel the fire.

they need to learn that if you play with extremism it has a pricetag. they support terrorists all around the world under different names. that needs to end. a world without terrorism is a better world. but for west west terrorists are usefull tools. so they contunue to fund them or let their partners fund them. i will not judge your fetish so i wont answer you last part.

yes, ukrainian neo-nazis are suicidal and it has been record during russia-ukraine war. we have seen ukrainian soldiers killing their commanders and even each other.

by any chance are you saying houthis are suicidal? please sure your source (it is very trash joke). people who are on the right side of history and have moral don’t think of such coward acts.

it is funny how coward like you alway projecting none stop to cope, you are nothing compare to them man-child.

Death to Zionists & Neo-Nazis.

– several western countries propose cutting weapon and technology transfers to israel, reports reveal.

“the organization of islamic cooperation, the league of arab states and a number of european countries discussed measures that may be applied against israel and countries supporting the jewish state in the gaza conflict at the meeting in saudi arabia’s capital, riyadh, on the sidelines of the world economic forum, the media reported.”

the houthies need better missiles to cause havoc in the us/uk attempt, costly as it is, to keep bab el mandeb straight open for traffic to the squatters in palestine – s few high grade missiles and the disunited states of avarice will make a hasty retreat to the safety of europe!
