Ammon News - US forces struck an anti-ship missile in Huthi-held Yemen that they said was ready to fire early Saturday.

The US military's Central Command (CENTCOM) said it had carried out another strike early Saturday morning on a Huthi "anti-ship missile aimed into the Red Sea and which was prepared to launch".

"Forces subsequently struck and destroyed the missile in self-defense," it added in a statement on social media platform X.

The previous evening, the British oil tanker the Marlin Luanda was hit by missiles fired by Yemeni naval forces, said the Huthis' military spokesman, Yahya Saree.

"The strike was direct, and resulted (in) the burning of the vessel," he added.
