New US attack in Yemen against the Houthis. US forces "identified" these drones in "Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen" and believed they posed "an imminent threat to US naval and merchant vessels," a statement said.

The army carried out "a self-defense attack against two surface marine drones loaded with explosives around 3.30pm (Sanaa time)," 1.30am in Italy. The US military command in the Middle East (Centcom) announced this on X.
