US launches multiple strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen
[NY Post] The US military fired multiple strikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen, the latest escalation against the Iran-backed terror group plaguing the Red Sea.American navy ships and aircraft targeted Houthi command posts and weapons depots on Monday and Tuesday, destroying the facilities that have been attacking military and merchant vessels in the region, according to US Central Command. The strikes were focused on the capital city of Sana’a and coastal locations around the Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen, including "advanced conventional weapon (ACW) production and storage facilities." "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. US Navy and Air Force aircraft also destroyed a Houthi coastal radar site and seven cruise missiles, the statement added. CENTCOM said the strike was part of the US military’s efforts to crackdown on the Houthi’s attacks in the region, which began last year in solidarity with Hamas following Israel’s incursion in Gaza.
