The US military said on Friday it successfully destroyed eight Houthi drones and two uncrewed surface vessels in the Red Sea in the past 24 hours.
The US military’s Central Command said in a statement that its forces had also successfully engaged a drone launched from a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen and that Houthis had launched an anti-ship ballistic missile. There were no reports of damage or injury.

Lebanese Man Who’s Lived through Multiple Wars Says This One Has Been the Worst

Mohammed Kaafarani has lived through multiple conflicts with Israel. But he says the past two months were the worst of them all.
“They were a nasty and ugly 60 days,” said Kaafarani, 59, who was displaced from the Lebanese village of Bidias, near the southern port city of Tyre.
Thousands of displaced people poured into the city Wednesday after a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah went into effect.
Kaafarani said the latest war was the most difficult because the bombardment was so intense. “We reached a point where there was no place to hide. Even buildings were destroyed.”
He said Tyre was left almost empty as most of its residents fled.
Kaafarani said he hopes his children and grandchildren will have a better future without wars because “our generation suffered and is still suffering.”
“The last two months were way too long,” said Kaafarani, whose home was badly damaged in the fighting. He vowed to fix it and continue on with life.
