The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced Thursday its success in destroying two uncrewed surface vessels (USV) and two Houthi radar sites in Yemen. CENTCOM said in a statement that its forces destroyed two Houthi radar sites in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen in the past 24 hours. CENTCOM said the forces also destroyed two USVs in the Red Sea. "It was determined the radar sites and USVs presented imminent threats to US, coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region. This action was taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure," it added. Last December, Washington formed a multinational coalition for what it considered protecting maritime traffic in the Red Sea after the Houthi group announced targeting ships linked to the Israeli entity in solidarity with the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. Houthi group's operations expanded to include ships linked to the US and UK, after strikes carried out by the two countries against their positions in Yemen . Source: Qatar News Agency
