The U.S. military announced on Monday that it had destroyed four Houthi radar systems, a boat, and a drone within the past 24 hours, according to Reuters.
U.S. Central Command reported that the radars and boat were destroyed in Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, while the drone was destroyed over the Red Sea.
The U.S. military announced late Friday-Saturday that it had destroyed seven Houthi radars, a drone, and two unmanned boats in Yemen over the past 24 hours.
U.S. Central Command stated on social media platform X, “These radars enable the Houthis to target maritime vessels, posing a risk to commercial navigation.”
This comes two days after the Houthis attacked a Greek-owned ship in the Red Sea, causing damage and stranding the vessel at sea.
In this context, the British Maritime Trade Operations agency reported on Friday that military authorities evacuated the crew of the coal tanker “Totor,” referring to an incident on June 12, 66 nautical miles southwest of Hodeidah in Yemen.
The agency noted in an advisory that the Greek-owned cargo ship “was left drifting at the last reported location.”
Water had leaked into the ship after it was attacked in the Red Sea by the Houthis. The agency stated that the “Totor,” which was hit by a drone boat on Wednesday, “was abandoned and is drifting off course” east of the Houthi-controlled port of Hodeidah in western Yemen.
