The US and British militaries struck more than a dozen Houthi targets in Yemen on Friday, going after weapons systems, bases and other equipment belonging to the Iranian-backed rebels, US officials confirmed.
Military aircraft and warships bombed Houthi strongholds at roughly five locations, according to the officials.
Houthi media said seven strikes hit the airport in Hodeida, a major port city, and the Katheib area, which has a Houthi-controlled military base. Four more strikes hit the Seiyana area in Sanaa, the capital, and two strikes hit the Dhamar province. The Houthi media office also reported three air raids in Bayda province, southeast of Sanaa.
Central Command, which oversees US forces in the Middle East, says the targets were tied to Houthi offensive military capabilities, but did not detail whether that included missile, drone or radar capabilities.
In a post on X, Central Command says the strikes took place at about 1400 GMT.
Strikes also targeted the south of Dhamar city, Houthi-run Al Masirah TV reports.
