Houthis say they will target US, British warships in self-defense

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said on Wednesday they plan to continue targeting US and British warships in the Red Sea in self-defense, the group's military spokesperson said in a statement carried by Al-Massirah TV.

The Houthis fired missiles at US warship USS Gravely, the statement added. On Tuesday night, the US military's central command said they had shot down one anti-ship cruise missile fired from Yemen towards the Red Sea with no damage reported.
