American forces and their partners in the Middle East destroyed four aerial drones launched by Houthi militants in Yemen over the weekend, ahead of the arrival of the latest Navy carrier strike group in the region.

Two of the drones were destroyed in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, CENTCOM said in a statement Sunday. The other two drones were shot down by unspecified partner forces over the Gulf of Aden, according to the statement.
