US And Coalition Forces Destroy Houthi Drone And Vessel In Yemen

U.S.-led coalition operation strike military targets in Yemen

On Wednesday, US and coalition forces successfully intercepted and destroyed a drone and an unmanned surface vessel launched by the Houthis in Yemen, as reported by US Central Command. The drone was taken down by a coalition aircraft, while the unmanned surface vessel was destroyed by US forces, according to a statement released by CENTCOM.

The decision to neutralize these threats was made after it was determined that the weapons posed an imminent danger to both merchant vessels and US Navy ships operating in the region. The actions taken by the forces were aimed at safeguarding the freedom of navigation and enhancing the safety and security of international waters for both US Navy and merchant vessels, CENTCOM emphasized.

Fortunately, there were no reported injuries or damage sustained by any US or coalition ships during the operation, underscoring the effectiveness of the interception and destruction of the hostile assets.
