According to the United States Central Command, the US military has destroyed two unmanned surface vehicles, a drone and seven radar systems belonging to the Houthi militia in Yemen within 24 hours.

"These radar systems enable the Houthi to target ships and threaten commercial shipping," Central Command (CENTCOM) said on X (see posting below).

Just two days ago, the Iran-backed Houthi rebels damaged a Liberian-flagged Greek freighter so severely in an attack in the Red Sea that it was no longer maneuverable.

The Houthi rebels have been attacking freighters for months - according to their own statements, in order to support the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
