Yemen: US, UK and French froces destroy dozens of Houthi drones
US, British and French forces say they repelled a series of Iranian-backed Houthi attacks off the coast of Yemen.
US military said at least 28 uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) were downed over the Red Sea early on Saturday.
Along with coalition forces, the US said it acted after determining the “large-scale” attack “presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels”.
The Houthis said they had targeted a commercial ship, Propel Fortune, and a number of US destroyers.
