US naval and air strikes on the Houthis

The United States launched an attack targeting the Houthis, an armed group based in Yemen.

The US military said that the attack was carried out using warplanes and warships to keep the maritime traffic unhindered. This information is known from a report of the British media BBC.

The US military says it has struck at least 15 positions of the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. The Pentagon said some explosions were reported in several major cities in Yemen, including the capital Sanaa.

The Houthis have attacked at least 100 ships in the Red Sea since last November, sinking two of them. The rebel group said they carried out the attacks in retaliation for Israel’s military operation in Gaza.

The Central Command, which is in charge of US military operations in the Middle East, said that this time the attacks targeted the Houthis’ weapons facilities, bases and other materials.

Houthi-backed media said Sana’a was one of the cities hit.
