US military strikes Yemen after missile attacks on Navy ship
US military strikes Yemen after missile attacks on Navy ship
By: Reuters 10-13-16 RE: http://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/12/us-mi...navy-ship.html US launches missiles against Yemen radar sites Thursday, 13 Oct 2016 | 8:02 AM ET | 01:22 The U.S. military launched cruise missile strikes on three coastal radar sites in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, retaliating after failed missile attacks this week on a U.S. Navy destroyer, U.S. officials said on Wednesday. The strikes authorized by President Barack Obama represent Washington's first direct military action against Houthi-controlled targets in Yemen's conflict. The Pentagon said initial U.S. assessments indicated the radar sites were destroyed. "These limited self-defense strikes were conducted to protect our personnel, our ships, and our freedom of navigation in this important maritime passageway," Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said. "The United States will respond to any further threat to our ships and commercial traffic, as appropriate."
