Another CENTCOM press release indicates that US forces in the Red Sea destroyed two Houthi drones in Yemen. From the way it is worded it sounds like these were airstrikes that destroyed these drones before they were launched.

Here’s the news:

On Feb. 5, at approximately 3:30 p.m. (Sanaa time), U.S. Central Command forces conducted a strike in self-defense against two Houthi explosive uncrewed surface vehicles (USV).

U.S. forces identified the explosive USVs in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen and determined they presented an imminent threat to U.S. Navy ships and merchant vessels in the region. These actions will protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S. Navy vessels and merchant vessels.

CENCOM is calling these “Houthi explosive uncrewed surface vehicles” and I am assuming that means ‘drones’. I don’t know what else it could mean so if you know, leave a comment.
