JAKARTA - The United States (US) military carried out precision airstrikes on Saturday (21/12), against missile storage facilities and command and control facilities operated by Houthi in Yemen's capital, Sanaa.
US military headquarters said the attack was aimed at weakening Houthi operations, including attacks on US Navy warships and merchant ships in the South Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb, and Gulf of Aden.
As reported by Reuters on Sunday, December 22, the US military also attacked several one-way Houthi drones and anti-ship cruise missiles in the Red Sea.
The attack this Saturday followed a similar attack last week by a US aircraft against a command and control facility operated by the Houthis, which controls much of Yemen.
Earlier, on Thursday, Israel launched attacks on ports and energy infrastructure in the Houthi-controlled Yemen region and threatened to carry out further attacks on the group, which has launched hundreds of missiles into Israel over the past year.
Iran-backed Houthi groups have several times attacked commercial ships in the Red Sea for more than a year to try to implement a sea blockade on Israel.
The Houthis said they acted in solidarity with the Palestinians in the year-long Israeli war in Gaza.
