Houthi spokesperson confirms drone attacks on US war destroyers
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis have confirmed reports the group targeted US war destroyers early this morning.
In a televised speech, the group's military spokesman Yahya Sarea said the Houthis targeted bulk carrier Propel Fortune in the Gulf of Aden, adding they targeted "a number of US war destroyers at the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden with 37 drones".
The Houthis have been attacking ships in the Red Sea since November in what they say is a campaign of solidarity with Palestinians during the war in Gaza.
Earlier, the US Navy said its ships and aircraft shot down 15 uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) by Yemen's Houthis in the Red Sea area between 4am and 6.30am.
