USCENTCOM Neutralizes Multiple Houthi Threats in the Red Sea
In the past 24 hours, U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) forces have effectively neutralized several imminent threats posed by Iranian-backed Houthi forces in the Red Sea region. Two Houthi uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) were successfully destroyed over the Red Sea, along with one uncrewed surface vessel (USV) identified in the same waters. In addition to these, USCENTCOM forces also intercepted and destroyed another Houthi UAV within a Houthi-controlled area in Yemen.
These hostile systems were determined to present an immediate danger to U.S. and coalition forces, as well as merchant vessels navigating the region. The proactive measures taken by USCENTCOM underline a commitment to safeguarding freedom of navigation and ensuring the security of international waters, thus contributing to a safer and more secure maritime environment.
