00:00 According to a media report by The Mint, the US state military CENTCOM has announced on
00:06 Friday that it took out four Houthi drones and two anti-ship cruise missiles in Yemen
00:12 and the Red Sea.
00:14 This action was deemed necessary as the drones and missile posed an imminent threat to both
00:20 merchant vessel and the US Navy ships, according to the military's Central Command Twitter
00:25 handle.
00:27 These drones and cruise missiles were poised to launch from areas in Yemen controlled by
00:31 the Houthi rebels towards the Red Sea.
00:33 Additionally, the military also intercepted one-way attack drone near commercial ship
00:38 operating in the Red Sea, further averting potential danger, as stated by the Central
00:43 Command.
00:44 Fortunately, there were no reported damages to any ship during the operation conducted
00:48 by the US military on Thursday and Friday, as confirmed by the Central Command.
00:52 A day earlier, the US military had engaged in four self-defence strikes against the Houthis,
00:58 destroying seven anti-ship cruise missiles and one mobile ballistic missile launcher
01:02 within Yemen.
01:03 Whereas on the preceding day, Houthi insurgents launched an attack on both Israel and a ship
01:08 transversing in the Gulf of Aden, resulting in the vessel catching fire.
01:14 This incident underscored the rebels' capability to mount assaults despite facing airstrikes
01:19 by the US targeting their strongholds.
01:22 In response to their continuous US strikes, a Houthi spokesperson has emphasised on Thursday
01:27 that the rebel faction will be intensifying attacks on ships in the Red Sea and other
01:31 maritime routes.
01:32 The statement followed the rebels' claim of responsibility for an attack on US-owned
01:36 cargo ship and a drone strike on an American destroyer.
01:40 Additionally, they also targeted the Israel's port city of Eilat with ballistic missiles
01:45 and drones.
01:47 Operations in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, Bab al-Mandeb Strait and the Gulf of Aden are
01:51 continuing escalating and effective, stated Abdul Malik al-Houthi in a televised address
01:56 as reported by the Reuters.
01:58 The recent string of attacks on ships by the rebels signifies a shift in their targets,
02:03 moving from shipments associated with Israel to more indiscriminate assaults.
02:08 Consequently, these attacks also pose a significant threat to vital waterways used for cargo and
02:13 energy shipments travelling from Asia to the Middle East and Europe.
02:18 This has led to US-launched retaliatory strikes on Houthi targets so oftenly.
02:23 Since November, the Houthis have targeted ships in the Red Sea as part of their campaign
02:28 to pressure Israel to end the conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
02:32 This escalation adds to the complexity in the region's security dynamics and raises
02:37 concerns about maritime safety and stability.
