U.S. Strikes Iran-Backed Houthi Underground Weapons in Yemen's Red Sea, Gulf of Aden
Jan 8, 2025, 08:45 PM
The U.S. military conducted multiple precision airstrikes targeting underground storage facilities used by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. These facilities, located in Houthi-controlled territories, were used to store advanced conventional weapons that the Houthis employed to attack U.S. Navy warships and commercial vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The operation, executed by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), resulted in no injuries or damage to U.S. personnel or equipment. The strikes are part of CENTCOM's efforts to weaken the Houthis' capabilities to threaten regional partners and maritime traffic in the region.
