U.S. forces launch multiple strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen

U.S. Forces had conducted “multiple precision strikes” against Iran-backed Houthi targets in Sana’a and coastal locations within Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen on Monday and Tuesday.

A video shared by the U.S. Central Command shows planes taking off and rockets being launched from a ship.

American Navy ships and aircraft targeted a Houthi command and control facility and advanced conventional weapon production and storage facilities that included missiles and uncrewed aerial vehicles, according to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).

“These facilities were used in Houthi operations, such as attacks against U.S. Navy warships and merchant vessels in the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden,” CENTCOM said in a statement.  

U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force aircraft also destroyed a Houthi coastal radar site and seven cruise missiles and one-way attack UAVs over the Red Sea, the statement added.

As it is reported, there were no injuries or damage to the U.S. personnel or equipment in either incident.

CENTCOM specified that the strikes are part of its effort to “degrade Iran-backed Houthi efforts to threaten regional partners and military and merchant vessels in the region.”
