CENTCOM: We Shot Down 12 Suicide Drones In The Red Sea, Gulf Of Aden
The US military claimed in a statement that at 10:30 am on Friday, February 2 (Sanaa time), the USS Carney shot down a drone over the Gulf of Aden, and at 4:40 pm of the same day, the US CENTCOM forces carried out attacks against four drones of the Houthis (Ansar Allah) that were ready to launch. Then at 21:20 minutes, the USS Laboon and F-18 fighter jets based on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower shot down seven drones over the Red Sea. No casualties or damages were reported from these attacks.
According to IWN investigations, probably the second attack is related to the bombing of Al-Jar region in Hajjah province. Local sources reported seven airstrikes in Al-Jar area yesterday evening. The third attack is also possibly related to the report of the British maritime security company Embry, which claimed that two explosions occurred near a Liberian-flagged ship on the outskirts of Zubair Island.
