U.S. forces launched airstrikes against Houthi underground weapons facilities in Yemen on Wednesday, Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed.
The Houthis have largely shut down shipping in the Red Sea and have been involved in attacks against Israel and U.S. forces in the Middle East since October 2023, the start of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. CENTCOM forces conducted a series of strikes against Houthi weapons storage sites in Yemen on Wednesday to further degrade the terrorist group’s capabilities and deter them from future attacks, the command said.
“These actions were taken to degrade the Houthi’s capability to continue their reckless and unlawful attacks on international commercial shipping and on U.S., coalition, and merchant personnel and vessels,” the command said in a statement.
