US Forces Neutralize 11 Houthi Drones Amid Tensions in Middle East

The US military responded to threats by destroying unmanned aerial vehicles launched from Yemen, aiming to protect key maritime routes.

US Central Command engaged and destroyed 11 drones launched from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen.
The intercepted drones presented an imminent threat to US, coalition, and merchant vessels in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea.
No casualties or damage to ships were reported following the drone engagements.
The drone attacks are part of a broader conflict involving Houthi solidarity with Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas war.
US military actions emphasize the strategic importance of protecting maritime navigation through critical waterways.
