U.S. Warships Launch Major Attacks on Houthi Military Bases in Yemen!
U.S. Navy warships and aircraft launched attacks on Houthi sites in Yemen, hitting 15 targets in a major operation.
Explosions were reported across Yemen’s major cities, including Sanaa—the first bombings in the capital in two years.
The U.S. Central Command stated that the strikes targeted Houthi military capabilities to ensure the safety of international waters.
Targets included Houthi weapons systems, bases, and equipment used for launching attacks on ships in the Red Sea.
Since November 2023, Houthis have attacked over 100 vessels in the Red Sea, sinking two and hijacking one.
The Houthis claim their actions protest Israel’s attacks on Gaza, but the U.S. says many targeted ships had no connections to Israel.
The Houthis are part of a larger network of Iran-backed groups in the Middle East, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.
The U.S. strikes on Houthi targets highlight the continued conflict and regional tensions in the Middle East.
