The U.S. forces on Saturday engaged six Houthi unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) over the southern Red Sea. Five crashed into the Red Sea, and one flew inland into Yemen, the U.S. military said in a statement.

The Houthis launched five anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBM) into the Red Sea on Saturday in the vicinity of a Panamanian-flagged, Chinese-owned, Chinese-operated oil tanker, causing minimal damage to the vessel and a fire on board which was extinguished within 30 minutes. No casualties were reported, according to the statement.
