The Houthi-run al-Masirah TV has reported that new airstrikes were carried out on 13 January 2024 on a Houthi military site in Sana'a, a day after the United States and Britain carried out military strikes on several Houthis-controlled sites in Yemen in response to recent Houthis attacks on ships in the Red Sea. The US Department of Defense in December 2023 announced a multinational operation to safeguard trade and to protect ships in the Red Sea amid the recent escalation in Houthi attacks. Houthis vowed to attack Israeli-bound ships and prevent them from navigating in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait in retaliation for Israel's airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.

ROMA, 18 GEN - Il Comando centrale (Centcom) degli Stati Uniti afferma che in un ultimo raid delle forze americane effettuato stanotte sullo Yemen ha colpito "14 missili Houthi che erano stati caricati per essere lanciati dalle aree controllate dai ribelli" sostenuti dall'Iran. "Questi missili sulle rampe di lancio rappresentavano una minaccia imminente per le navi mercantili e quelle della Marina statunitense nella regione e avrebbero potuto essere lanciati in qualsiasi momento, spingendo le forze americane a esercitare il loro diritto e obbligo intrinseco di difendersi", spiega il comando combattente unificato del Dipartimento della Difesa statunitense. I ribelli Houthi hanno assicurato che continueranno ad attaccare le navi nel Mar Rosso. "Continueremo a prendere di mira le navi dirette ai porti della Palestina occupata, indipendentemente dall'aggressione statunitense-britannica per cercare di fermarci", ha detto un funzionario Houthi all'emittente locale al-Masirah. "È una guerra aperta e" i nostri nemici "dovranno sopportare attacchi e risposte sconvolgenti, potenti e schiaccianti", ha scritto su X il funzionario houthi Ali al-Qahoum definendo gli attacchi di questa notte una "chiara insistenza su un comportamento ostile e criminale contro lo Yemen".
