The United States shot down two Iranian one-way attack drones threatening international maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend, US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced in a post to X/Twitter early Sunday morning.
"American forces remain postured and ready to continue defending against Iranian aggression," CENTCOM wrote.
On Saturday, CENTCOM revealed that the US had intercepted multiple ballistic missiles and drones launched by Iran towards Kuwait, Bahrain, and the Strait of Hormuz.
Initial assessments indicated that six of the missiles were intercepted, and a seventh failed before hitting anything.

Iran launched the missiles hours after American forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were posing a threat to maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
After shooting the drones down, the US struck Iranian military radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island.
