The US military and coalition forces destroyed an unmanned aerial vehicle and an unmanned surface vessel launched by Yemen’s Houthis in the Red Sea on Wednesday, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement.
“There were no injuries or damage reported to US or coalition ships,” the statement read.
Iran-aligned Houthi militants have repeatedly launched drones and missiles at international commercial shipping in the Red Sea region since mid-November, saying they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians against Israel’s military assault in Gaza.
The attacks have disrupted global shipping, forcing firms to take longer and more expensive journeys around southern Africa.
The United States and Britain, along with other navies, have carried out strikes against Houthi targets in response.
