US Central Command said on Wednesday that it had destroyed an anti-ship ballistic missile and two drones launched by the Houthi group from Yemen towards the Red Sea. It confirmed that it destroyed a surface-to-air missile system in an area under Houthi control.

The US Army did not give details about the area it said it targeted and that it belonged to the Houthis. There has been no comment yet from the group on what the US Central Command announced. The Houthis targeted, with missiles and drones, Israeli cargo ships or those linked to them in the Red and Arab Bahrain.
