“The navy conducted a military operation against the American military cargo ship Ocean Gas in the Gulf of Aden using ship-borne missiles,” the Houthis stated in Masirah TV.

The military representative of the Ansar Allah movement, Yahya Sari, previously said that the Yemeni Houthis launched a missile attack on the American vessel Chem Ranger in the Gulf of Aden and recorded a direct hit on it.

Afterwards, the White House said that US troops carried out three “successful strikes in self-defense” against targets in Yemen.
