NEW YORK,
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Monday that American forces recently destroyed three uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) belonging to Houthis.
“In the past 24 hours, U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) forces successfully destroyed three Iranian-backed Houthi uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) launched from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen over the Gulf of Aden,” the US Central Command wrote on the X social network.
“Additionally, USCENTCOM forces successfully destroyed one Iranian-backed Houthi UAS in a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen,” CENTCOM added.
As CENTCOM also reported, the US military shot down a drone and a Houthi anti-ship ballistic missile in the skies over the Red Sea.
Earlier on Monday, a senior U.S. official confirmed that a U.S. drone strike in Iraq killed a Houthi drone specialist on July 30. The confirmation came after “several” U.S. personnel were injured in a suspected rocket attack at the Ain al-Asad air base.
