It is the sixth time the US Navy has shot down drones in the southern Red Sea since the start of the Israel-Hamas war
The US Navy shot down a drone launched this morning from a part of Yemen controlled by the Houthi rebels, a US military official told Reuters..
This is the sixth time the US Navy has shot down drones in the southern Red Sea since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7. The drone attacks come amid a series of attacks on merchant ships in Middle Eastern waters.
Earlier today, UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) and UK maritime security company Ambrey reported an incident involving a suspicious drone over the Red Sea west of the Yemeni port of Hodeidah.
UKMTO has asked vessels in the area to exercise caution.
There was no damage to US Navy ships or injuries to personnel in the attack, the US official said.
The US military announced on Sunday that three merchant ships were attacked in the southern Red Sea.
Yemen’s Shia rebels say they will continue to target Israeli ships “until the Israeli attack on our brothers in the Gaza Strip stops”.
