US military says it destroyed Houthi air defense, drone systems in Red Sea area
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe US military says it has destroyed air defense and drone systems of Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi forces in the area of the Red Sea, with no injuries or damage reported to commercial, US and coalition ships.
The Houthis, a US-designated terror group, have vowed to target Israeli, British, and American ships, as well as vessels heading to Israeli ports, disrupting traffic along the vital trade route amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
The US, which leads an international coalition meant to protect Red Sea shipping, has been hitting Houthi targets in Yemen since mid-January.
