US forces launched strikes on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, targeting 4 missiles that were threatening civilian and military ships, according to what a US official announced on Tuesday.

The official said, on condition of anonymity, that “the United States launched strikes in self-defense against four Houthi ballistic missiles that posed an imminent threat to cargo (transporting) ships and US Navy ships.”

Today, the Houthi militia claimed responsibility for attacking a Greek ship, while the Amiri of the British Maritime Security Company said that the ship was subjected to attacks and continued sailing without serious damage.
