The U.S. Central Command "CENTCOM" announced that its forces destroyed during the past 24 hours two unmanned boats with remote control in the Red Sea, a ground control station, and a command and control center in an area under the control of the Houthis in Yemen.

It stated in a statement via X platform: "During the past 24 hours, CENTCOM forces successfully destroyed two unmanned boats belonging to the Houthis in the Red Sea," according to the Turkish Anadolu Agency.

"CENTCOM" added that its forces "separately succeeded in destroying a ground control station and a command and control center in an area under the control of the Houthis in Yemen."

According to the statement, "It was determined that these systems pose an imminent threat to U.S. forces, coalition forces, and commercial vessels in the region."

Accordingly, "These measures were taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer for U.S., coalition, and commercial vessels," according to the statement.

No immediate comment was made by the Houthi group on the "CENTCOM" statement.

This development comes after the military spokesperson for the Houthis, Yahya Saree, released a video on Wednesday evening showing scenes of what it said was the targeting of the ship "Tutore" in the Red Sea by two unmanned boats, resulting in its sinking.

The naval forces of the group revealed in a statement that they used several naval weapons in targeting and sinking the Tutore ship, including "weapons that are being used for the first time (the nature of which was not disclosed)."

On Tuesday evening, the British navy announced in a statement that the cargo ship "Tutore" sank in the Red Sea after being targeted by a Houthi drone on June 12.

"In solidarity with Gaza," which has been facing a devastating Israeli war since October 7 with U.S. support, the Houthis target Israeli or related cargo ships in the Red Sea with missiles and drones.

Since the beginning of this year, a U.S.-led coalition has been conducting airstrikes that it claims target "Houthi positions" in various parts of Yemen, in response to their attacks in the Red Sea, which has been met with retaliation from the group from time to time.

With the involvement of Washington and London and the escalation of tensions in January, the Houthi group announced that they now consider all U.S. and British ships as part of their military targets.
