ADEN, Yemen, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Sunday that it had destroyed several Houthi military assets in Yemen over the past 24 hours.

CENTCOM reported on the social media platform X that its forces had destroyed three uncrewed aerial vehicles and two missile systems in a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen.

According to CENTCOM, these assets posed "a clear and imminent threat" to various maritime interests in the area.
