US launches multiple strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen
|
[NYPOST] The US military made multiple strikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen, the latest escalation against the Iran-backed terror group plaguing the Red Sea.
American Navy ships and aircraft targeted Houthi command posts and weapons depots Monday and Tuesday, destroying the facilities that have been attacking military and merchant vessels in the region, according to US Central Command.
The strikes were focused on the capital city of Sana'a and coastal locations around the Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen, including ''advanced conventional weapon (ACW) production and storage facilities.''
''These facilities were used in Houthi operations, such as attacks against U.S. Navy warships and merchant vessels in the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden,'' CENTCOM said in a statement.
US Navy and Air Force aircraft also destroyed a Houthi coastal radar site and seven cruise missiles, the statement added.
CENTCOM said the strikes were part of the US military's efforts to crack down on the Houthis' attacks in the region, which began last year in solidarity with Hamas following Israel's incursion in Gaza.

…On Dec. 30 and 31, U.S. Navy ships and aircraft targeted a Houthi command and control facility and advanced conventional weapon (ACW) production and storage facilities that included missiles and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV). These facilities were used in Houthi operations, such as attacks against U.S. Navy warships and merchant vessels in the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. In addition, U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force aircraft destroyed a Houthi coastal radar site and seven cruise missiles and one-way attack UAVs over the Red Sea.
There were no injuries or damage to U.S. personnel or equipment in either incident.
The strikes are a part of CENTCOM's effort to degrade Iran-backed Houthi efforts to threaten regional partners and military and merchant vessels in the region.

Al Masirah: Defense Ministry building in Yemen's capital hit by airstrikes
A series of explosions rocked the Yemeni capital of Sana'a, which was subjected to airstrikes. This was reported on December 31 by the Al Masirah TV channel.
According to journalists, the attack was carried out on the Al-Arda complex, where the Ministry of Defense of the National Salvation Government is located. This government body was created by the Shiite movement Ansar Allah (Houthis), which rules northern Yemen.
According to some reports, responsibility for the attack was placed on Israel. There was also information about strikes on a complex in northwest Sana'a where military equipment is being repaired.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, earlier on December 31, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saria said that the Ansar Allah movement had attacked the US aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman using cruise missiles and drones. According to him, the group's fighters carried out the attack when the ship was preparing to strike Yemeni territory.
On December 26, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) aircraft carried out a series of airstrikes during a speech by Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi. According to the Shiite movement, six people were killed and 40 were wounded.
At the time of the Israeli bombing of Sana'a airport, the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was in one of the airport's waiting rooms. After the incident, he reported that he was not injured.
