Recent reports indicate that U.S. fighter jets launched strikes on three underground storage facilities in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. The operation, carried out by aircraft from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier, took place in the Red Sea region. Witnesses in Sanaa reported seeing and hearing strikes and explosions on Friday night, with footage circulating on social media showing smoke rising over the Houthi-controlled capital.

While there has been no official confirmation of casualties or the source of the explosions, Yemeni TV station Al-Masirah, affiliated with the Houthis, reported strikes hitting the city. Additionally, U.S. Central Command announced that its forces successfully destroyed four unmanned aerial vehicles in Houthi-controlled territories.
