SANAA, YEMEN (4:00 P.M.) – The Houthis denied firing any missile towards the U.S. naval destroyer today, despite conflicting reports from the Pentagon.
“No missile was fired at any time by our navy today; furthermore, this act of aggression by the US-Saudi alliance will be met with a deceive blow by our forces,” the Houthi spokesperson stated on Thursday.
“Our forces are prepared to respond to the Americans if they provoke us,” the Houthi spokesperson added.
Yemeni activists have accused Saudi Arabia of targeting American naval vessels in order to provoke the latter to attack the Houthi forces and Yemeni Republican Guard.
