The US military launched strikes against three radar stations in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, the Department of Defense said Wednesday.
The strikes, authorized by President Barack Obama, came in response to a failed attack on a US navy ship on Sunday which was launched from Houthi territory.
A naval vessel had detected two inbound missiles, however both fell short of their target and hit the water, according to a Pentagon statement. "The United States will respond to any further threat to our ships and commercial traffic ... and will continue to maintain our freedom of navigation in the Red Sea," a US Department of Defense statement said. The radar sites were destroyed in the strikes, the Pentagon said.
