US forces attacked a Houthi missile that was ready to be launched towards the Red Sea, Central Command said on Saturday.
It was the 10th US-led strike against Houthi missile emplacements as the Iran-backed rebel group continues its attacks on shipping and naval vessels in the southern Red Sea.
Centcom said on X that the strike occurred at 3:45am on Friday.
“US Forces identified the missile in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, and determined it presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and the US Navy ships in the region,” Centcom said.
“US Forces subsequently struck and destroyed the missile in self-defence.”
Earlier on Friday, the Houthis claimed responsibility for a strike that caused a fire on an oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden.
The group said it is targeting ships associated with Israel as a response to the war in Gaza.

Keep it fun and engaging
Stuart Ritchie, director of wealth advice at AES International, says children cannot learn something overnight, so it helps to have a fun routine that keeps them engaged and interested.
“I explain to my daughter that the money I draw from an ATM or the money on my bank card doesn’t just magically appear – it’s money I have earned from my job. I show her how this works by giving her little chores around the house so she can earn pocket money,” says Mr Ritchie.
His daughter is allowed to spend half of her pocket money, while the other half goes into a bank account. When this money hits a certain milestone, Mr Ritchie rewards his daughter with a small lump sum.
He also recommends books that teach the importance of money management for children, such as The Squirrel Manifesto by Ric Edelman and Jean Edelman.
