The United States has unleashed a wave of attacks on Houthi sites, destroying seven radars, one drone and two unmanned bomb boats in Yemen in the past 24 hours, its military said.
The attacks come days after a Greek-owned vessel was damaged in an attack by Houthi militants and left drifting in the Red Sea.
“These radars allow the Houthis to target maritime vessels and endanger commercial shipping,” US Central Command said on social media.
The US separately destroyed two bomb-laden drone boats in the Red Sea, as well as a drone launched by the Houthis over the waterway, it said.

The US Navy faces the most intense combat it has seen since World War II in trying to counter the Houthi campaign, attacks which the rebels say are an act of solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza war.
