United States forces in the south of the Red Sea They "successfully" attacked and destroyed seven radars of the Shiite Houthi rebels of Yemen, used in their attacks against international shipping in that important sea lane, as well as a drone and two unmanned vessels.


As reported this Saturday by the US Central Command (USCENTCOM) in its account in X, the US naval force carried out these operations "in the last 24 hours" in the context of its mission to protect navigation in the Red Sea where The Houthis have escalated their attacks in recent days.

"The USCENTCOM forces “successfully destroyed two Houthi unmanned surface vessels (USV) in the Red Sea (…) in addition (to) an unmanned aerial system (UAS) launched from a Houthi-controlled area in Yemen,” the message said.


"Separately, ... they successfully destroyed seven Iranian-backed Houthi radars" in an area controlled by the Yemeni rebels, USCENTCOM added.

"These radars allow the Houthis to target maritime vessels and endanger commercial naval traffic," he highlighted.


Since November, pro-Iranian Yemeni insurgents have been attacking vessels crossing the Arabian and Red Seas.

Houthi rebels, who make up the so-called “Resistance Front” led by Iran, allege that their attacks are an expression of solidarity with the Palestinian terrorist organizations that fight Israel in Gaza, and have intensified their actions in recent weeks.


In the past two days, significant damage has been confirmed to at least two ships, one of them Ukrainian, and serious injuries to a member of its crew. EFE and Aurora

  1. BLESSING ISRAEL, USE IF YOU CANNOT BETWEEN YOUR ALLIES DESTROY THE YEMENIS HOW YOU CAN DESTROY THE TERRORIST AYATOLAHS. LONG LIVE ISRAEL.

  2. These Yankees, the laughingstock of the planet, with their guns... say that they have destroyed the radars that the Islamists of Yemen use to attack the ships, and the next day the ragged Islamists who live in the Middle Ages go and attack two merchant ships and sink them
