Defense News , Red Sea :- In the early hours of January 13, at 3:45 a.m. Sana’a time, the USS Carney (DDG 64) carried out a strike against a Houthi radar site in Yemen using advanced Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles. This action followed a previous strike on January 12, aiming to weaken the Houthi's capability to pose a threat to maritime vessels, including commercial ships.
Since November 19, 2023, Houthi militants, supported by Iran, have made 28 attempts to attack and disrupt vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. These unlawful incidents involved various weapons such as anti-ship ballistic missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and cruise missiles.
It's crucial to note that these strikes are unrelated to Operation Prosperity Guardian, a defensive coalition involving more than 20 countries. This coalition operates in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb Strait, and Gulf of Aden to ensure security and protection from external threats.
