AFPDUBAI, United Arab Emirates—The United States and its allies said they shot down 28 drones fired by Yemen’s Huthis at targets in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden last weekend, in one of the Iran-backed rebels’ largest attacks.

CENTCOM said in an update later Saturday that the US and its allies had downed a total of 28 drones in the operation.

On March 2, the first known vessel sinking from the strikes occurred when the Belize-flagged, Lebanese-operated Rubymar went down in the Red Sea, days after a rebel missile strike.
