The US Army announced today, Friday, that it had destroyed Houthi missiles and drones supplied by Iran to the Houthi militias in Yemen last week.

The US Central Command said in a statement that its forces succeeded during the past week in destroying 15 unidirectional attack drones, land attack cruise missiles and surface-to-air missiles in the US Central Command area of ​​responsibility.

The statement explained that these weapons were provided by Iran, and were fired intermittently by the Houthis and armed groups loyal to Iran over several days during the week.

These weapons, according to the statement, posed a great danger to the United States, its allies, and partner forces, as well as civilians in the region.

The statement indicated that the Iranian weapons systems launched by the Houthi militias were shot down by the American air forces and naval vessels deployed in the region.

The American forces confirmed that they and the coalition forces are at a high level of readiness, and are in a position that allows them to defend the interests of the United States and the interests of its allies and partners in the region.

Local sources previously reported to Al-Ain News that US naval forces bombed Houthi sites on Thursday evening in the coastal Al-Jah area, south of Hodeidah.

The sources said that the bombing targeted an agreement to hide missiles and drones that the militias had dug from palm plantations in Al-Jah to the coastal strip.

Last Saturday, American aircraft raided military sites belonging to the Houthi militia in Hodeidah Governorate, western Yemen.

Last week, the Houthi militias received a painful American strike that resulted in the destruction of a missile depot and ballistic platforms of the coup militias east of Sanaa.

During their meeting this month, the G7 defense ministers called on Iran to refrain from providing support to the Houthi militias and other armed groups.

The G7 Defense Ministers called on the Yemeni Houthi militia to immediately stop their escalatory measures that increase instability in the region, and to immediately release the ship "Galaxy Leader" and its crew.

Since last January, American and British forces have launched strikes as part of a military coalition aimed at curbing the capabilities of the Houthis and limiting their attacks against international shipping lines passing through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

Since last November, the Houthis have been launching missile and drone attacks on the movement of ships in the Red Sea region in what they say is solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza war, which has affected about 12% of global trade.
