The United States military has conducted a series of airstrikes targeting Houthi-controlled weapons depots in Yemen. These operations are part of an ongoing campaign to disrupt the capabilities of the Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
According to reports, the strikes focused on facilities used by the Houthis for storing advanced conventional weapons. These depots have been linked to recent attacks on U.S. naval vessels and commercial shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has stated that the objective of these strikes is to degrade the Houthis’ ability to carry out such attacks. The operations are described as precise and aimed at minimizing collateral damage.
This military action follows a series of Houthi missile and drone attacks on maritime targets, which have raised concerns over the security of international shipping lanes in the region. The U.S. has reiterated its commitment to ensuring the safety of these routes and responding to threats posed by the Houthis.
