The Houthis are continuing to fire missiles at containers ships traveling the Red Sea despite two US strikes last week. US CENTCOM is reporting this morning that the terrorist group just fired another anti-ship ballistic missile at a container ship from the Marshall Islands. The missile must not have hit the ship because they say there was no reports of injuries or significant damage and the ship is continuing on.

They also report that earlier today a US fighter jet shot down an anti-ship cruise missile fired by the Houthis.

To quote Reuters reporter Idrees Ali, “Doesn’t appear U.S. strikes against the Houthis are having the intended impact…”

Here’s the reporting:

On Jan. 15 at approximately 4 p.m. (Sanaa time), Iranian-backed Houthi militants fired an anti-ship ballistic missile from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen and struck the M/V Gibraltar Eagle, a Marshall Islands-flagged, U.S.-owned and operated container ship. The ship has reported no injuries or significant damage and is continuing its journey.

Earlier in the day, at approximately 2 p.m. (Sanaa time), U.S. Forces detected an anti-ship ballistic missile fired toward the Southern Red Sea commercial shipping lanes. The missile failed in flight and impacted on land in Yemen. There were no injuries or damage reported.

On Jan. 14 at approximately 4:45 p.m. (Sanaa time), an anti-ship cruise missile was fired from Iranian-backed Houthi militant areas of Yemen toward USS Laboon (DDG 58), which was operating in the Southern Red Sea. The missile was shot down in vicinity of the coast of Hudaydah by U.S. fighter aircraft. There were no injuries or damage reported.
