According to the Houthi-controlled Houthi in Yemen on February 15, the United States and Britain once again launched airstrikes on the Yemeni Red Sea city of Hodeidah. The Houthis said on the same day that they fired missiles at a British ship sailing in the Gulf of Aden and accurately hit the target.
The U.S. and Britain launched two airstrikes on the Jabana district north of Yemen's Red Sea city of Hodeidah, the Houthi-controlled TV station said on the 15th, the U.S. and the United Kingdom launched two airstrikes. Some residents of Hodeidah Province said that they heard the sound of warplanes flying over that night, and then heard the sound of what appeared to be an air strike.
The Houthis claimed to have struck British ships.
Yemen's Houthi spokesman Yahya Sarea issued a statement on the 15th, saying that several missiles were fired at a British ship sailing in the Gulf of Aden and accurately hit the target. Sareya said the Houthis would do more to retaliate against the U.S. and British airstrikes. The Houthis will continue to impose a blockade on the navigation of Israeli vessels in the Red and Arabian Seas until a ceasefire is achieved in the Gaza Strip and the siege is lifted.
According to publicly available shipping information, the attacked vessel was a Barbados-flagged bulk carrier operated by a British company. The British Maritime Operations Office said earlier on the 15th that a merchant ship sailing in the Gulf of Aden reported that there was a ** occurrence in the sea not far from the ship on the same day, and there was no damage to the crew and hull.
Houthi leaders say the US-British operation has failed to achieve its goals.
In addition, Houthi leader Abdul Malik Houthi said on the 15th that the actions of the Houthis have effectively stopped the activities of Israeli ships, and the military operation of the United States and Britain in Yemen has failed to achieve its goals. The only solution is to cease military operations and provide food, medicine and humanitarian aid to the people of the Gaza Strip.
