US military says destroys seven drones, vehicle in Yemen

Over the past 24 hours, American forces destroyed seven drones and a control station vehicle in Huthi-controlled areas of Yemen due to imminent threats to US coalition forces and merchant vessels. These strikes aim to protect freedom of navigation and enhance the safety of international waters in response to attacks by Iran-backed Huthis targeting vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. These actions, part of an international military effort, also address rising insurance costs for vessels and regional instability caused by the Huthis' continued aggression.
