Red Sea: Intense Houthi activity, multiple missile interceptions

The activity of the Houthis and their attacks in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden against international shipping was particularly intense yesterday.

According to a statement from the US CENTCOM command, yesterday April 24 at 11:51 (Sanaa time) a Coalition ship successfully intercepted an ASBM (Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile) launched from areas controlled by the Houthis supported by Iran.

According to the same source, the ASBM probably targeted the MV Yorktown, a US-owned and operated US-flagged ship with 18 crew members, including four Greeks. No injuries or damage were reported to US, coalition, or merchant ships being protected in the area.

In a separate incident between 12:07 and 13:26 US ships engaged and destroyed four unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen.
