US Forces engaged and destroyed Six Yemeni (UAV) and Three (USV)
In the past 24 hours, U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) forces successfully destroyed six Houthi uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV) in a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen.
According to the command, USCENTCOM forces engaged and destroyed three Houthi uncrewed surface vessels (USV) operating off the coast of Yemen.
It was determined these weapons presented an imminent threat to U.S., coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region.

The strikes came less than a week after a Houthi suicide drone struck the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, killing a man and wounding at least eight others.
Israel responded by launching its first ever attack on Yemen. Israeli strikes hit the Houthi-held Res Sea port of al-Hodeida
