"US Conducts Airstrikes on Yemeni Drones, Confirms American Official"

The United States conducted strikes on up to 10 unmanned drones in Yemen and shot down three Iranian drones and a Houthi anti-ship ballistic missile in the Gulf of Aden, amid escalating tensions in the region. The Iran-aligned Houthi militants have been launching exploding drones and missiles at commercial vessels in response to Israel's military operations in Gaza, disrupting international shipping. The U.S. and Britain have launched strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, and the Houthi attacks have raised concerns of supply bottlenecks and regional conflict. U.S. President Joe Biden has stated that strikes on Houthi targets will continue despite acknowledging that they may not halt their attacks.
