A U.S.-led coalition has conducted a fourth round of strikes against numerous Iran-backed Houthi targets in Yemen. The strikes, carried out by the U.S. and the U.K., targeted dozens of Houthi locations across Yemen, including the capital city of Sana'a and other key sites used by the rebel group.
The targets of the strikes included weapons, radar sites, command and control centers, and underground weapons storage facilities. The attacks were executed using aircraft and potentially other military assets, with further details awaited.
These strikes were in response to ongoing attacks on commercial vessels, some of which have recently affected ships associated with the U.S. and the U.K. One vessel linked to the U.K. is reportedly leaking oil in the Red Sea, with officials unable to access it due to the threat of Houthi attacks.
The situation poses a significant challenge for U.S. officials as they grapple with how to address the Houthi threat. Despite repeated coalition strikes, including the latest round, the attacks have not effectively deterred Houthi assaults on vital international waterways, highlighting the gravity of the situation.
