#yemen #usa ━━━━━━ ⚫ ━━━━━━ The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said its forces destroyed three unmanned surface vessels (USV), two mobile anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCM), and a one-way attack drone in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the command said the USV and ASCM were hit before being launched while the drone was already over the Red Sea at the moment of the impact. Centcom said it "determined" that those weapons presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and to the US Navy ships in the region." It added that those strikes are carried out "to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for US Navy and merchant vessels." •|•
