The U.S. military, through Central Command, reported the destruction of two drones, a ground control station, and three anti-ship cruise missiles targeting Houthi positions in Yemen within the past 24 hours.
These strikes were carried out to neutralize threats posed to US and coalition forces, as well as merchant vessels in the region.
The Houthi group, which controls much of northern Yemen, claimed responsibility for launching drone and missile attacks against U.S. warships in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. However, there has been no U.S. comment on the Houthi claims.
This exchange is part of ongoing hostilities since November, with the Houthis targeting vessels linked to Israel, prompting regular retaliatory air raids by the U.S.-British naval coalition.
