Yemen official calls for ‘ground action’ against Houthis, US steps up strikes
After the United States launched fresh strikes against anti-ship missiles belonging to the Houthis, the Yemen-based rebel group on early Friday morning claimed their “naval” forces carried out a missile attack on a US ship in the Gulf of Aden, “resulting in direct hits.”
However, the United States Central Command has said that there was no damage to the ship or any injuries as the missile “missed” the ship, as reported by news agency AFP.
Notably, the deputy leader of Yemen’s presidential council said Thursday that its military forces need foreign assistance to launch a ground operation that would back US and UK air strikes against Houthi rebels.
Recent Houthi militant attacks in the Red Sea are impacting trade between Asia and Europe, causing concern among major powers. The US-operated vessel Genco Picardy faced the second attack this week, leading to a fire in the Gulf of Aden. The Indian Navy successfully rescued the 22 crew members, including nine Indians, and extinguished the fire.
