This action follows a series of recent airstrikes by the US and UK in Yemen, raising concerns about escalating tensions in the war-torn country.

CENTCOM's statement did not specify the location of the destroyed USVs, while Yemeni media reported airstrikes in various regions.

Deputy Foreign Minister Hussein al-Azzi denounced the strikes as illegal aggression and urged the international community to oppose US and UK involvement in Yemen.

The strikes have elicited condemnation from Yemeni officials and civilians, highlighting ongoing resentment towards the US-led intervention. Calls for peace and accountability for civilian casualties are likely to intensify in response to these latest developments.

Yemen has been embroiled in a complex civil war since 2014, with the Saudi-led coalition, backed by the US and UK, attacking against Yemeni resistance groups. The aggression has caused a humanitarian crisis, with millions facing displacement, hunger, and disease. (ILKHA)
