The United States has announced that it shot down four drones launched by Yemen’s Houthis, as the United Kingdom’s top diplomat branded the rebel group’s ally Iran a “malign influence”.
The USS Laboon guided-missile destroyer downed the drones as they were travelling towards the vessel and there were no injuries or damage, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Saturday.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched two missiles in direction of the Red Sea, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on its page in the X social network.
"On December 23 two Houthi anti-ship ballistic missiles were fired into international shipping lanes in the Southern Red Sea from Houthi controlled areas of Yemen. No ships reported being impacted by the ballistic missiles," CENTCOM said.
The Central Command also received reports on December 23 from two ships in the Southern Red Sea that they were under attack. These were the Blaamanen, a Norwegian-flagged chemical and oil tanker and the Saibaba - a Gabon-owned and Indian-flagged crude oil tanker.
