The Navy, quickly, retaliated for missiles fired at its ships off the coast of Yemen by destroying three radar sites, the retaliation is approved by President Obama .
The sites, in territory controlled by Shiite rebels known as Houthis on the Yemen's Red Sea coast, appear to have been destroyed.
Yemen's Saba news agency, which is controlled by the Houthis, quoted a military official denying that the rebels targeted a U.S. ship. Spokesman for the Yemeni army, called the incident an “American farce to find a reason to interfere in Yemen directly after failure of the Saudis," the AP reported.
The U.S. has been providing logistical support and refueling to the Saudi-led coalition against the Houthis.
The launches of missiles at U.S. ships followed the bombing of a funeral hall in the Yemeni capital Sanaa apparently by forces from the Saudi-led coalition killed at least 140 people. Sanaa is controlled by the Houthis.
Human Rights Watch, a U.S.-based organization, said the bombing was an apparent war crime and called on the United States, the United Kingdom and other governments to immediately suspend arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
Do the Houthis speak English? did they know these ship belongs to USA? Where are the Saudi Ships in the area? Just a thought.
