US Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted multiple airstrikes on numerous Houthi weapons storage facilities in Yemen early this morning in a bid to degrade the militant group’s capability to continue what was described as their “reckless and unlawful” attacks on international commercial shipping in the region.
CENTCOM forces, including stealth bombers, targeted the Houthi’s hardened underground facilities housing missiles, weapons components, and other munitions used to target military and civilian vessels throughout the region.
More than 120 vessels have been targeted by the Houthis in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden in their 11-month campaign against merchant shipping in support of Hamas and their ongoing war with Israel.
