MOSCOW, March 10 – The United States, together with its allies, repelled a Houthi attack in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden on Saturday by downing 15 unmanned aerial vehicles, the US Central Command said, reported Sputnik.
“Between 4 am and 6.30 am (Sanaa time), Houthi terrorists conducted a large-scale uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) attack in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. CENTCOM and coalition forces identified the one-way attack (OWA) UAVs and determined that they presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels, US Navy, and coalition ships in the region.
“US Navy vessels and aircraft along with multiple coalition navy ships and aircraft shot down 15 OWA UAVs,” the US military authorities wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
The US forces undertook these actions to “protect freedom of navigation”, as well as to secure international waters, the authorities added.
