US Under Secretary of Defence for Arms Procurement and Support Bill LaPlante says he is shocked by the arsenal of the Yemeni Houthis.
Axios writes that.
‘I’m an engineer and a physicist, and I’ve spent my entire career dealing with missiles. What I’ve seen from what the Husis have done in the last six months is just a shock,’ the portal quoted Laplante as saying.
The Pentagon is particularly concerned about anti-ship missiles, the publication noted.
Earlier, the Pentagon confirmed that the Yemeni rebel Houthis attacked two missile destroyers during their passage through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait.
