At the age of 21, he studied the craft of making horse bags from a local craftsman. For now, he has become the inheritor of the craft. The process of making horse bags involves dozens of steps, so the production is time-consuming and the output is low, which has hindered its development and inheritance.

US Forces Shoot Down Houthi Missiles And Drones

Handout photo dated April 14, 2018 shows the guided-missile destroyer USS Laboon (DDG 58) fires a Tomahawk land attack missile in an undisclosed location. On Tuesday, U.S. fighter jets and a warship shot down an onslaught of missiles and attack drones in the southern Red Sea over a 10-hour period, military officials said. The downed weapons included a dozen one-way attack drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles and two land attack cruise missiles. “U.S. assets, to include the USS Laboon and F/A-18 Super Hornets from the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group, shot them down,” said U.S. Central Command, the Pentagon’s top combatant command in the Middle East. “There was no damage to ships in the area or reported injuries.” It wasn’t clear exactly what the drones and missiles were targeting, but U.S. forces in the region have carried out a number of “self-defense strikes” and shot down other drones and rockets in recent months.
