The U.S. military announced on Sunday that it had successfully destroyed two unmanned aerial vehicles in Yemen, one in a Houthi rebel-held area and the other over the Red Sea. The operation was carried out to eliminate threats posed to U.S. and coalition forces, as well as merchant vessels in the region, according to the U.S. Central Command.
The first drone was destroyed over the Red Sea, while the second was taken out on the ground before it could be launched. CENTCOM emphasized that these actions were essential to safeguard forces, ensure freedom of navigation, and enhance the safety of international waters for U.S., coalition, and merchant vessels.
