The U.S. military said Thursday it struck three radar sites in Yemen in response to missile launches from territory controlled by Houthi rebels that targeted a U.S. Navy destroyer.
Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook described the strikes as "self-defense" in order to protect U.S. personnel and ships.
"The United States will respond to any further threat to our ships and commercial traffic, as appropriate, and will continue to maintain our freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, the Bab al-Mandeb, and elsewhere around the world," he said.
Officials said Wednesday a missile fired in the Red Sea targeted the destroyer USS Mason, which was accompanied by the amphibious docking vessel USS San Antonio at the time. The rocket failed to reach the ships, a U.S. official who asked not to be identified told VOA.
The missile launch, the second in the past four days, was from a Houthi-controlled area, officials said. The Houthi movement in Yemen denied any involvement in the first attack on the USS Mason, a few days ago.
美国军方星期四表示,美军袭击了也门境内的三个雷达设施,报复最近几天胡塞控制区向美国军舰发射导弹的行动。
五角大楼发言人库克说,这次自卫行动是为了保护美军人员与军舰。
他表示,美国将对任何针对美国船只以及商业航行的威胁做出适当反应,继续维护美国在红海,曼德海峡,以及世界其他地区的航行自由。
有关官员星期三表示,美国海军驱逐舰梅森号在红海受到一枚导弹的攻击,当时跟梅森号在一起的还有美军两栖登陆舰圣安东尼奥号。一位要求不透露姓名的美国官员对美国之音说,导弹没能击中这两艘舰只。
美国官员说 ,这是四天之内胡塞控制区第二次向美国军舰发射导弹。不过,也门胡塞反政府武装否认他们与美国海军驱逐舰梅森号第一次遭受的袭击有任何牵连。
