Houthi leader claims six ships targeted in last week
Houthi leader Abdel-Malik al-Houthi says in his latest televised address that the group used 20 ballistic and cruise missiles and drones, along with an unmanned boat, in its military operations in the past week.
He said six vessels were targeted, bringing the total number of military and commercial ships targeted since the start of the war on Gaza to 162.
Al-Houthi said unnamed Arab militaries are trying to intercept Yemeni missiles and aircraft “in service of the enemy [Israel]”, while some Arab media take care in selecting their words “as not to hurt the feelings of the Zionist enemies”.
“Presidential candidates in the US compete in their election campaigns over who is the most loyal to Zionism and the biggest supporter of the enemy,” he said.

The Houthis’ Al Masirah TV said that the air raids hit the districts of al-Lahiyah and Bait al-Faqih, on Yemen’s west coast. The attacks would be the latest to target the Houthis, who have continued their attacks on shipping in the seas around Yemen, ostensibly in support of Gaza.

The US military’s Central Command has said that it has destroyed two Houthi “uncrewed surface vessels” (USV) in the Red Sea.
It also destroyed one radar site in a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen, saying that both the seaborne drones and the radar presented an “imminent threat” to US, coalition forces and merchant vessels in the area.
