On Friday, the US-UK coalition said its forces destroyed four drone boats and two drone planes launched by the Houthis into the Red Sea.
The Houthi group, which controls much of northern Yemen, began in November last year launching anti-ship ballistic missiles and drones targeting what it said were Israeli-linked ships transiting the Red Sea, to show solidarity with Palestinians in the Strip. Gaza.
In response, the US-UK naval coalition stationed in the region has since January conducted airstrikes and missile strikes against Houthi targets to deter the group, leading to an expansion of Houthi attacks to include US and British commercial ships and warships. .
