The US military shelp it carry outed precision airstrikes on Saturday agetst a leave outile storage facility and a direct-and-regulate facility rund by Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen’s capital, Sana’a.
In a statement, the US military’s Central Command shelp the strikes aimed to “disturb and degrade Houthi operations, such as aggressions agetst US navy warships and merchant vessels in the southern Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb and Gulf of Aden”.
The US military also shelp it struck multiple Houthi one-way drones and an anti-ship cruise leave outile over the Red Sea and the strike echoed its “ongoing pledgement to protect US and coalition personnel, regional partners and international shipping”.
Saturday’s strike chaseed a analogous aggression last week by US aircreate agetst a direct and regulate facility rund by the Houthis, who regulate much of Yemen.
On Thursday, Israel begined strikes agetst ports and energy infrastructure in Houthi-held parts of Yemen and menaceened more aggressions agetst the group, which has begined hundreds of leave outiles at Israel over the past year.
The Iran-backed group in Yemen has been aggressioning commercial shipping in the Red Sea for more than a year to try to apply a naval blockade on Israel, saying they are acting in firmarity with Palestinians in Israel’s year-extfinished war in Gaza.
The strikes on shipping by the Houthis, who have also begined leave outiles at Israel, have prompted retaliatory strikes by the US and Britain.
The US aggression on Sana’a came the same day that a Houthi leave outile struck Israel’s commercial hub Tel Aviv, wounding 16 people in the second such strike in days.
The US is seeking global aid to give the UN evidaccess powers to interdict ships in the Red Sea heading for Houthi-regulateled Yemen ports, as part of a concerted finisheavor to frailen the Iranian-backed group, according to the US exceptional envoy.
It is also pondering re-summarizeating the Houthis as a alarmist group, a transfer that would originate it more difficult for humanitarian organisations to run inside Houthi-regulateled parts of Yemen.
