Air Force says it stopped anti-ship cruise missile fired at US Navy ship but Houthi rebels claim it was a “direct hit”
 
FEATUREDWIB SEA January 16, 2024 Staff Writer

 

Washington — The US military said another missile fired by the Houthi rebels based in Yemen was intercepted in the south of the Red Sea.

The rebels had fired the anti-ship cruise missile towards a US Navy destroyer around 4:45 pm (1345 GMT) on Sunday, the US military’s regional command announced in the early hours of Monday on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

The missile was intercepted by the US Air Force near the Yemeni coastal city of al Hudaida. There were no reports of casualties or damage.

Since the outbreak of the Gaza war between Israel and the Islamist militant organization Hamas, Iran-backed Houthi rebels have repeatedly attacked ships with an alleged Israeli connection in the Red Sea.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

In a situation like this, Arabs would claim they hit a speck of dust on flea's ass if they thought it would reverse the reality. :yowsa:

So, the Houthis are taking credit for firing a missile upon an American warship?

... sounds like a good excuse for B-52's and B-1B Lancers to do some target practice over Yemen.
