The pro-Iran Houthis launched two anti-ship ballistic missiles from its controlled areas inside Yemen into the Red Sea over the past 24 hours.

The US military, CENTCOM, called the attack "continued malign and reckless behavior" by the group designated terrorists by countries including the US, claiming the ongoing offensive threatens regional stability and endangers the lives of mariners across the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

According to the reports, no injuries or damage was claimed by US, coalition, or commercial ships.

Houthis attacks started in mid-November in support of Iran-backed Hamas's war in Gaza following Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's call on Muslim countries to blockade Israel and Israeli-linked ships.
