U.S. Forces Neutralize Houthi Drone Threat in Red Sea

Four drones aimed at naval vessels were intercepted over two days, highlighting ongoing tensions in the region.

U.S. Central Command destroyed four Houthi drones targeting a U.S. warship and a coalition vessel in the Red Sea, marking the second such incident in two days.
The drones, launched by Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists, posed an imminent threat to merchant and U.S. Navy ships, prompting actions to protect freedom of navigation.
No injuries or damage were reported following the engagement of the drones by U.S. forces.
CENTCOM has conducted airstrikes against Houthi targets, including underground storage facilities and anti-ship missiles, to degrade their ability to attack ships.
The Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea have caused deaths, disrupted humanitarian aid, and threatened regional economies and environmental safety.
