The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) stated that its forces intercepted an unmanned aerial system launched by the Yemen-based Houthis over the Red Sea, whilst also destroying the group's air defense system on Monday.

Additionally, US forces neutralized a ground control station in a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen. In a separate incident that occurred on Sunday, the Houthis launched an anti-ship ballistic missile toward the Gulf of Aden where a coalition ship was escorting M/V Hope Island, a Marshall Islands-flagged, UK-owned, Italian-operated cargo ship.
