US fighter jets strike underground Houthi storage sites in Yemen
[IsraelTimes] CENTCOM says American forces also destroyed UAVs in areas controlled by the Iran-backed rebels, intercepted missiles fired toward Red Sea.

The US military said Friday it had struck three underground storage facilities used by Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
’s Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
s, as the Iran-backed rebels continue to launch attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.

According to a US official, the strikes were carried out by fighter jets that took off from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier, which is in the Red Sea.

Strikes and explosions were seen and heard in Sanaa on Friday night, according to witnesses and videos, some circulating on social media. Footage showed explosions and smoke rising over the Houthi-controlled capital.

There was no official confirmation of the injured or the origin of the earth-shattering kabooms. Yemeni TV station al-Masirah, which is linked to the Houthis, reported strikes hitting the city.

In a statement late Friday, US Central Command said its forces also destroyed four unmanned aerial vehicles in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.

Central Command also said Houthis fired four anti-ship ballistic missiles toward the Red Sea, but no injuries or damage were reported by US, coalition or fat merchantmen.

The head of the Houthi supreme revolutionary committee, Muhammad Ali al-Houthi, said earlier there had been "reckless" US-British attacks on Yemen. The Houthi-run Saba News Agency said US and British aircraft had launched five raids on Hodeidah, the area where Yemen’s main port is located.

#1 There was no official confirmation of the injured or the origin of the earth-shattering kabooms.

Houtis still have a lot to learn from Palestinians.

#5 I still prefer an ARCLIGHT strike, just to get their attention. Hodidah would be a nice target. Use a dozen B-1s with a full load of 1000lb conventional bombs.
