In the cities in the north of Yemen, explosions are heard, the media reported. Shortly before this, social networks reported that the American reconnaissance aircraft RC-135 flew out towards Yemen, which was probably landing in the area of the capital of Saudi Arabia Er-Riyad. In this area, the plane disappeared from the Flightradar24 card.
The explosions, in particular, said the correspondent of Voice of America Karl Babb, citing sources.
“2 American officials informed me that the United States and Great Britain strike at the Khusita’s supported Iran, in response to their attacks on ships in the Red Sea and Aden Bay, more than a dozen goals, from training bases to drones,” Babb wrote.
CNN Military correspondent Haley Britzki with reference to the official source of the United States reported that the States struck many objects in the Yemen areas controlled by Hussites. Blows include the use of fighter and missiles Tomagavk. The Lebanese media Al-Mayadin reported “aggressive bombing” in the port of Hodeid in the west of Yemen.
A number of Western publications, including Bloomberg , also reported about bombing. The US official, who asked not to nam his name before the official announcement, confirmed the fact of strikes.
Blows were an answer to attempts to attack the courts associated with Israel in the Red Sea, which the Husits made against the background of the Gas sector.
On October 19, 2023, two US military bases in Iraq were attacked by missiles and drones. Before that, Iraqi armed groups associated with Iran warned Washington that he should not intervene in the war between Israel and Hamas. On the same day, the American warship, located in the northern part of the Red Sea, intercepted three cruise missiles and several drones launched from the territory of Yemen by the pro -Rights of the Husites. According to Pentagon, rockets and drones were supposedly launched towards Israel.
On January 11, the Hussites released a ballistic missile in the Gulf of Aden. This, according to American officials, was the 27th attack on commercial shipping by the group since November 19. The US Presidential Administration Joe Biden warned that the shelling would "lead to the consequences."
Against the background of the actions of the Husites, large carriers abandoned the route, and dollar revenues from the Suez Canal in Egypt decreased by 40% since the beginning of the year compared to 2023, said the head of the Osama Rabi channel. In the period from January 1 to January 11, the volume of transportation decreased by 30% compared to the previous year, Rabbi said.
