US Destroys 4 Houthi Surface Vessels, 2 UAS Drone Systems Over Red Sea, Reestablishes Gaza Aid Pier
U.S. Central Command said, "It was determined these systems presented an imminent threat to U.S., coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region".
YEMEN/GAZA - U.S. forces destroyed 4 Houthi unmanned surface vessels (USVs), and 2 unmanned aerial systems (UAS) over the Red Sea.
U.S. Central Command said, "It was determined these systems presented an imminent threat to U.S., coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region".
Additionally, the temporary humanitarian aid pier has been successfully re-anchored to the Gazan shore after being relocated to Israel in order to avoid forecast high seas and to avoid damage occurring to the pier, as well as to ensure the safety of service members operating at the location.
U.S. Central Command said, "At no time during this event did U.S. troops enter Gaza.
Trucks carrying humanitarian assistance across the temporary pier began delivery again today, June 20, and approximately 656 metric tons (1.4 million pounds) of aid were delivered to the beach in Gaza."
