American military confirms striking Houthi radar site in Yemen
WASHINGTON — US forces conducted a strike against a Houthi radar site in Yemen, the American military says, adding the latest action aimed to degrade the rebel movement’s ability to attack maritime vessels.
“This strike was conducted by the USS Carney (DDG 64) using Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles and was a follow-on action on a specific military target associated with strikes taken on Jan. 12 designed to degrade the Houthi’s ability to attack maritime vessels, including commercial vessels,” the US Central Command says in a statement on X, formerly Twitter.
