The United States carried out a raid against a Houthi site in Yemen after pro-Iranian rebels claimed responsibility for a missile attack in the Red Sea against a British oil tanker, which caught fire.
Centcom announced it: "At 03.45 local time (01.45 Italian time) the US military command in the Middle East (Centcom) launched an air attack against a Houthi anti-ship missile which was preparing to be launched on the Red Sea", we read in the press release, which describes the Yemeni rebels' missile as an "imminent threat" to commercial and military vessels in the area.
