Today (Saturday) dawn, American forces launched strikes targeting a Houthi site in Yemen following the Yemeni rebels attacked a British oil ship that “caught fire” in the Gulf of Aden, in the latest episode of their campaign to target international maritime traffic “in solidarity” with the Gaza Strip, according to «Agence France-Presse».
The US military command in the Middle East (Centcom) said on the “X” platform, “At approximately 3:45 local time (00:45 GMT), the US military command in the Middle East launched a strike targeting a Houthi anti-ship missile that was regarding to be launched.” In the Red Sea,” adding that this missile posed an “imminent threat” to American destroyers and commercial ships in the region.
For their part, the Houthis in Yemen announced yesterday (Friday) the targeting of a British oil ship in the Gulf of Aden, as part of a response to the American and British strikes on sites belonging to them, and in support of the Gaza Strip, which is witnessing a war with Israel.
The military spokesman for the Houthis, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, confirmed in a brief statement, “The British oil ship (Marilyn Luanda) was targeted in the Gulf of Aden with a number of appropriate naval missiles,” noting that the hit was “direct, which led to its burning.”

For regarding two months, Yemeni rebels have been carrying out attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea that they suspect are linked to Israel or heading to its ports, in what they say is solidarity with the Gaza Strip, which has been witnessing a war between the Hamas movement and Israel since October 7.
For its part, the British Maritime Security Agency “Ambry” reported that a “missile” hit a commercial ship off the coast of Aden in Yemen.
“Embry” explained that the accident occurred 55 nautical miles southeast of Aden in Yemen and led to the injury of “a commercial ship with a missile that led to a fire,” noting that “the safety of the crew was reported.”
The Houthis claimed responsibility for targeting “a British oil ship (Marilyn Luanda) in the Gulf of Aden, with a number of suitable naval missiles, and the hit was direct, which led to its burning.”
The Embry Agency had previously said that an oil tanker flying the Panama flag “reported seeing two explosions” in the Gulf of Aden, which was confirmed by the British Navy’s UK MTO Agency.
Obstructing navigation
While UKMTO noted that the two missiles exploded in the water, Embry indicated that the two missiles exploded regarding a nautical mile from the Indian oil tanker and at an altitude of 200-300 meters above water level.
“The goal was not clear at the time of the report,” Ambry added. There were no reports of damage,” she said, adding that ships were requesting military assistance at the time.
In an attempt to deter the Houthis and protect navigation in the strategic region through which 12 percent of global trade passes, on January 12 and 22, American and British forces launched a series of strikes on their military sites in Yemen. The US Army alone carries out strikes from time to time on missiles that it says are prepared for launch.
As a result of Western strikes, the Houthis began targeting American and British ships in the region, considering that the interests of both countries had become “legitimate targets.”
Last Saturday, the Houthis gave Americans and Britons working for the United Nations and other humanitarian organizations in areas under their control in Yemen a month to leave.
In addition to military action, Washington seeks to exert diplomatic and financial pressure on the Houthis. It reclassified them as a terrorist organization last week following dropping the classification following President Joe Biden taking office.
Houthi attacks impede navigation in the Red Sea. It has doubled the cost of transportation, as a result of shipping companies diverting their ships to the Cape of Good Hope, in the far south of Africa, which prolongs the journey between Asia and Europe for regarding a week.
