The US Central Command says its forces conducted multiple strikes against Houthi targets earlier today and yesterday in Sana’a and coastal locations within territory controlled by the rebels in Yemen.
US Navy ships and aircraft targeted a Houthi command and control facility and advanced conventional weapon (ACW) production and storage facilities that included missiles and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV), CENTCOM says.
These facilities were used in Houthi operations, such as attacks against US Navy warships and merchant vessels in the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, according to CENTCOM.
In addition, US Navy and US Air Force aircraft destroyed a Houthi coastal radar site and seven cruise missiles and one-way attack UAVs over the Red Sea, CENTCOM says, adding that there were no injuries or damage to US personnel or equipment.
