The US Central Command announced, at dawn on Wednesday, that the Houthi militias had launched two ballistic missiles towards the Red Sea, west of the country.

The US Central Bank said in a statement on the X platform: “In the past 24 hours, the Iranian-backed Houthis launched two anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBM) from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen into the Red Sea.”

She added, "No casualties or damage were reported by American, coalition, or commercial ships."

It claimed that “this continued malicious and reckless behavior by the Iran-backed Houthis threatens regional stability and puts the lives of sailors across the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden at risk.”
