The United States shot down several drones launched by Houthi forces in Yemen, the US Central Command tweets

“The drones were shot down while the US warship was on patrol in the Red Sea. The ship and crew sustained no damage or injury,” the tweet adds.

Since the war’s outbreak, the US has shot down several missiles fired by Houthi rebels toward Eilat. Saudi Arabia has also shot down a number of projectiles as well.
