The extent of the failure of the allied powers to degrade the Houthi Military capabilities may come into sharp focus if the Yemeni movement makes good on its threat to expand its sphere of operations from the Indian Ocean down to the African Cape.
Over the last 24 hours US Central Command, CENTCOM, reported that the US Navy had destroyed four anti-ship ballistic missiles, two fired towards the Red Sea and another two into the Gulf of Aden. In addition, another nine anti-ship missiles and two drones were also dealt with. These attacks come in a week when the Houthis have significantly increased the intensity of their operations.
