US forces on Saturday destroyed one Iran-backed Houthi uncrewed aerial system in the southern Red Sea and saw two others crash into the sea, US Central Command said.
The Central Command forces also destroyed two Houthi anti-ship ballistic missiles fired in direction of the USS Gravely, it said. No injuries or damage were reported by US, coalition or commercial ships, it added.
The Houthi militias have attacked ships off Yemen’s coast for months, saying they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians fighting Israel in Gaza.
Their drone and missile strikes have been aimed at the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Gulf of Aden.
