U.S. strikes Houthi target in Yemen after attack on British oil tanker

The Hindu  

U.S. forces struck an anti-ship missile in Houthi-held Yemen that they said was ready to fire on January 27, hours after the Iran-backed rebels caused a fire on a British tanker in the Gulf of Aden with a similar munition. U.S. and British forces have launched joint strikes aimed at reducing the Houthis' ability to target vessels transiting the key Red Sea trade route — attacks the rebels say are in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where Israel is at war with Hamas. The U.S. military's Central Command, CENTCOM, said it had carried out another strike early on Saturday on a Houthi "anti-ship missile aimed into the Red Sea and which was prepared to launch". The previous evening, the Houthis' military spokesman Yahya Saree said missiles fired by the rebels had hit the Marlin Luanda, an oil tanker operated by a British firm on behalf of trading giant Trafigura Group. Global trade disruption Risk monitor Ambrey said earlier that a Panama-flagged oil tanker "reported seeing two blasts" in the Gulf of Aden, a report that was corroborated by the British navy's United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations.
