ALBAWABA- The Italian Foreign Minister announced that the destroyer "Caio Duilio" intercepted and shot down two drones over the Red Sea.
These unmanned aircraft were reportedly targeted by Yemen's Houthi group, who declared their support for Gaza and imposed restrictions on vessels heading to or from Israel until the Gaza siege is lifted and humanitarian aid allowed.
Notably, the US and UK launched intensive airstrikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, yesterday. These airstrikes resulted in civilian casualties, with 11 Yemeni civilians killed and numerous others injured.
The airstrikes targeted port cities and small towns in western Yemen, including Hodeidah and Ras Issa Port, under the pretext of defending commercial shipping.
Reports indicate at least 17 US-UK airstrikes were launched yesterday in total across the country, as confirmed by Yemen's internationally recognized government and Houthi-run media outlet Al Masirah.
