Sanaa: Yemeni rebels on Thursday denied US accusations they had targeted a US destroyer in the Red Sea which prompted cruise missile strikes on three radar sites under their control.

"Those claims are baseless," the rebel-controlled Saba news agency quoted a military official allied with the rebels as saying.

"The (rebel-allied) army and the Popular Committees (militia) have nothing to do with this action," the official added.
