WASHINGTON – The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said it has successfully destroyed four uncrewed aerial system (UAS) in an Iranian-backed Houthi controlled area of Yemen.
It was determined these systems presented an imminent threat to US, coalition forces and merchant vessels in the region, the US Central Command said in a press release.
These actions are taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for US, coalition, and merchant vessels, the note added.
