On Saturday evening, the US carried out a series of strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, as confirmed by a US defense official. The strikes specifically targeted weapons storage facilities across at least three locations. These facilities were known to house advanced conventional weapons used by the Houthis to target ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
The US utilized fighter jets to carry out the attack, aiming to disrupt the Houthi's capabilities in the region. The Iran-backed Houthis have been actively targeting ships in the Red Sea, citing their actions as a response to Israel's conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
