Yemeni resistance fires cruise missile at US destroyer

MojNews-Yemeni resistance forces fired an anti-ship cruise missile at USS Laboon (DDG 58) destroyer. 

"On January 14 at approximately 4:45 p.m. (Sanaa time), an anti-ship cruise missile was fired from Houthi militant areas of Yemen toward USS Laboon (DDG 58), which was operating in the Southern Red Sea. The missile was shot down in the vicinity of the coast of Hudaydah by US fighter aircraft. There were no injuries or damage reported," CENTCOM said in a statement on X (formerly Twitter).

In the early hours of Friday, the US and UK military carried out 23 airstrikes on targets in four provinces in different parts of Yemen, including the capital of Sanaa and the cities of Al Hudaydah, Taizz and Sadah. 

Later in the day, the US Air Forces Central said that US strikes against the Yemenis had hit more than 60 targets in 16 different locations.

Ansarullah military spokesman Yahya Saria later said that the US and the UK had carried out 73 strikes on their targets in Yemen, killing five fighters and injuring six others.

A member of Ansarullah's high political council, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, described the Western attacks as "barbaric terrorism" and "deliberate and unjustified aggression."
