U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) conducted multiple precision strikes on Wednesday against two underground storage facilities in Yemen used by the Houthi rebels to store advanced conventional weapons. The strikes targeted facilities in Houthi-controlled territories, with no reported injuries or damage to U.S. personnel or equipment. CENTCOM stated that the Houthis had used these facilities to launch attacks against American warships and commercial vessels in the region. The operation involved 7 airstrikes in the Amran and Sana’a governorates and is part of CENTCOM's ongoing efforts to counter Iranian-backed Houthi threats to regional partners and maritime traffic.
