Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis said on Wednesday they plan to continue targeting U.S. and British warships in the Red Sea in self defense, the group’s military spokesperson said in a statement carried by Al-Massirah TV.

The Houthis fired missiles at U.S. warship USS Gravely, the statement added. On Tuesday night, the U.S. military’s central command said they had shot down one anti-ship cruise missile fired from Yemen towards the Red Sea with no damage reported.
