Three unmanned aerial systems (UAS) of the Houthis were destroyed by the US armed forces in Yemen on Maundy Thursday night according to the statement they issued. They were deemed to “pose an immediate threat” to US forces, international coalition forces and merchant ships in the area, the joint command of the US armed forces responsible for the Middle East (CENTCOM, “central command”) explained via X. Since mid-November, Yemeni rebels, part of the so-called “axis of resistance”, a loose alliance close to Iran, have been launching attacks against ships mainly in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, sea lanes of major importance for global trade. Initially they targeted ships they believed to be connected to Israel – now they also consider ships of its allies, above all the US and Britain – as a sign of support for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, an enclave that is bombarded and besieged by the Israeli army since October 7.
