The US military said late Wednesday that it had destroyed four "uncrewed aerial systems" in an area of Yemen controlled by Iran-backed Houthis.
US Central Command said on the social media site X that the systems presented an imminent threat to US and coalition forces and merchant vessels in the region.

The Iran-backed group says the ongoing campaign of attacks is designed to show solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza.

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 destabilize the wider Middle East.

The United States and Britain have carried out strikes against Houthi targets in response to the attacks on shipping.

The ongoing war in Lebanon between Hezbollah and Israel is upending children’s lives, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) warned on Thursday, adding that at least one child has been killed daily in the country over the past month.
“Since October 4th of this year, at least one child has been killed and 10 injured daily,” it said in a statement.
UNICEF said thousands more children who have survived the many months of constant bombings physically unscathed, are now acutely distressed by the violence and chaos around them, according to AFP.
Since September 23, Israeli warplanes have launched violent strikes on a number of areas in southern Lebanon, the Beqaa in eastern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut.
The raids also extended to the capital, Beirut, Mount Lebanon and the north of the country.
On Oct. 1, the Israeli army launched a ground operation across its northern border into Lebanon targeting Hezbollah.
