Update from the Times of Israel at 8:35 a.m. ET:
US forces conducted a strike against a Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...

...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
, the American military says, adding the latest action aimed to degrade the rebel movement’s ability to attack maritime vessels.

"This strike was conducted by the USS Carney (DDG 64) using Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles and was a follow-on action on a specific military target associated with strikes taken on Jan. 12 designed to degrade the Houthi’s ability to attack maritime vessels, including commercial vessels," the US Central Command says in a statement on X, formerly Twitter.

#1 Actions have consequences.

p.s. Somebody said that Saudis fought Houtis for 7 years - which proves that Houtis can fight. Really? Saudis?

#3 Interesting. My hope is that these are the stockpiles and not baby food factories. If the assembly facilities and magazines were correctly identified and taken out stem the missile attacks will slow down for a time as this becomes a logistics equation.
