The U.S. military launched a series of precision airstrikes, targeting 15 key Houthi sites in Yemen as part of a strategic effort to neutralize the rebel group’s military infrastructure. The strikes were aimed at critical assets, including weapons depots, command centers, and logistics hubs, all believed to be supporting Houthi operations. U.S. defense officials emphasized that the action was taken in response to escalating threats in the region, particularly following increased Houthi missile and drone activity that poses a risk to international shipping routes and regional stability.
These strikes are part of a broader U.S. strategy to curtail Houthi influence and protect vital Middle Eastern interests, including energy security. While there have been no immediate reports of civilian casualties, the operation marks a significant escalation in U.S. military involvement in Yemen’s ongoing conflict. The U.S. government reiterated its stance against Houthi aggression and emphasized the importance of diplomatic efforts alongside military action to achieve lasting peace in the region.
