US Central Command (CENTCOM) claimed on Monday that the US military engaged five drones over the Red Sea.

"Between 1:48 and 2:27 a.m. (Sanaa time) [22:48 - 23:27 GMT], April 28, U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) successfully engaged five airborne unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) over the Red Sea. It was determined the UAVs presented an imminent threat to U.S., coalition, and merchant vessels in the region," it wrote on X.

The announcement comes a couple of days after the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) successfully shot down an American MQ-9 aircraft carrying out hostilities in the airspace of Saada Governorate using an appropriate missile. The Yemeni military media published footage showing the operation.

It is noteworthy that the Yemeni Armed Forces have imposed a naval blockade on Israeli navigation in the Red and the Arabian seas and the Indian Ocean, and vowed to target Israeli and Israeli-bound ships sailing toward occupied Palestinian ports until a ceasefire is achieved in Gaza and the siege imposed on the Strip is lifted.

The YAF have also announced that they would continue to target US and British ships in response to the two countries' aggression against Yemeni territories.

The Deputy Foreign Minister of Sanaa, Hussein el-Ezzi, affirmed Saturday that Yemen is fully aware of the United States' possible hostile plots against the country, holding it fully accountable for the ramifications of its "foolishness".

نحن على علم بماتخطط له واشنطن من أعمال عدائية ومن الآن نحملها مسؤولية تداعيات حماقاتها المحتملة ضداليمن لأنها قد لا تجد في المنطقة طريقا واحدا(آمنا) وستكون مصالحها هدفا مستداما لكل الأحرار

كرجل سلام أنصحها بإنهاء توجهاتهاالعدائية قبل أن تأخذها الأفكار الفاشلة إلى جحيم طويل الأمد

— حسين العزي (@hussinalezzi5) April 26, 2024

In a post on X, el-Ezzi threatened Washington that it would be left unable to "find one secure path in the region" in case it commits any aggressive action, noting that "its interests would be legitimate targets for all free people."

El-Ezzi subsequently called on Washington to cease its aggressive stance against Yemen, before its "defeated ideas lead it to long-lasting hell."
