US CENTCOM conducts two self-defense strikes in Yemen

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) revealed on Saturday that four anti-ship ballistic missiles were launched from Iranian-backed Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen into the Red Sea.

It is assessed that at least three of the missiles were launched toward the commercial vessel MT Pollux, a Panamanian-flagged, Denmark-owned, Panamanian-registered vessel.

There were no reported injuries or damage from MT Pollux or any other ship in the area.

Moreover, CENTCOM said that they have "successfully conducted two self-defense strikes against one mobile anti-ship cruise missile and one mobile unmanned surface vessel (USV) in Yemen."
