New Delhi The U.S. military said it destroyed a drone fired by
the Yemeni Houthis on Saturday, 16 March with another presumed to have
crashed into the Red Sea.
There were no reports of damage or injuries from
ships in the vicinity, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement.
CENTCOM also said it
destroyed five unmanned surface vessels and one UAV in self-defense, in
Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.
“It was determined these weapons presented an
imminent threat to merchant vessels and U.S. Navy ships in the
region,” the statement read.
Months of Houthi attacks in the Red Sea have disrupted global shipping, forcing
firms to re-route to longer and more expensive journeys around Southern Africa, and stoked fears that the Israel-Hamas war could spread to destabilize
the wider Middle East.
The U.S. and Britain have carried out strikes
against Houthi targets in response to the attacks on shipping.
