US Central Command (CENTCOM) claimed early Saturday that, in the past 24 hours, coalition ships destroyed two uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) and one uncrewed aerial system (UAS) in the Red Sea launched by the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF).

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported on Thursday that US and UK forces launched two airstrikes on the al-Salif district in the northwest of the coastal city of Hodeidah on the Red Sea, western Yemen.

In a post on X, USCENTCOM also claimed "successfully destroying" seven radars belonging to the Yemeni army in areas governed by Sanaa.

"It was determined these systems presented an imminent threat to US, coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region," the statement said.

The United States and Britain continue their series of aggression on Yemen as the YAF escalate their operations in support of Gaza amid the ongoing Israeli genocide.

In a speech earlier this week, Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi emphasized that regardless of the "enemies' conspiracies, Yemen will confront them," stressing that Sanaa has "many options and possesses leverage over the enemies."

Spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced on Thursday that the YAF targeted three ships in the Red and Arabian Seas as part of the operations in support of Gaza and in retaliation to the US-UK aggression on Yemen.

The first operation was carried out by the YAF's missile force against the Verbena cargo ship in the Arabian Sea, Saree said, confirming that it was hit, leading to a fire erupting on board.

CENTCOM released a statement saying that Verbena was struck by two missiles, which caused a fire on the ship.

In the second and third operations, the SeaGuardian and Athina vessels came under attack in the Red Sea by Yemeni ballistic missiles and drones, and were directly hit, the spokesperson added.

Saree emphasized that the operations came after the ships' owning companies violated the YAF's ban on entry into the ports of occupied Palestine.
