CAIRO (Sputnik) – The United States and the United Kingdom have launched strikes on the Al Bayda province in central Yemen against the rebel Ansar Allah movement, a source in the local authorities of the province told Sputnik on Tuesday.
On Monday, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that a US-owned and operated container ship has been hit by a missile fired from the areas of Yemen.
Later, Yemen military spokesman Yahya Saria confirmed that its missile hit a US-owned ship in the Gulf of Aden.
The USA and the United Kingdom launched strikes on Tuesday on barracks in the province of Al Bayda, southeast of the Yemeni capital Sanaa.
