The U.S. Military announced late on Wednesday evening that it had shot down multiple terrorist suicide drones that were launched around the Arabian Peninsula.
U.S. Central Command said in a statement that early Wednesday morning, U.S. forces “successfully engaged three unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) launched from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.”
“Two UAVs were launched over the Gulf of Aden and one UAV was launched over the Red Sea,” CENTCOM said. “Then between approximately 7:50 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. (Sanaa time), USCENTCOM forces successfully engaged and destroyed eight UAVs in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen in self-defense.”
The attack drones were determined to present “an imminent threat to U.S., coalition, and merchant vessels in the region.”
No one was killed or injured in the attacks and no ships were damaged.
