US Navy ships and aircraft shot down 15 uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAVs) fired by Yemen’s Houthis in the Red Sea area early on Saturday, according to officials.
The military was responding to a large-scale attack by “Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists” launched into the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden between 4am and 6.30am on Saturday, US Central Command said on X.
It added the UAVs were determined to present “an imminent threat to merchant vessels, US Navy, and coalition ships in the region”.
