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.
