Yemen's Houthis say they targeted US vessels with ballistic missiles

Yemen's Houthis said on Wednesday that they targeted a number of US warships with ballistic missiles in the Gulf of Aden and Bab al-Mandab while they were protecting two US commercial vessels.

The "clash" led to a US warship being directly hit and forced the two commercial vessels "to withdraw and return," the Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said in a statement.
