The US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that it carried out airstrikes in Sana’a, Yemen, tonight
They said the targets were a missile depot and a command and control center operated by the Houthi rebels, who are supported by Iran.
CENTCOM explains that the strike is intended to reduce the Houthis’ ability to carry out attacks, such as those that have already hit American warships and merchant vessels in the southern Red Sea, the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and the Gulf of Aden.
The statement does not mention the Houthi missile attack on Tel Aviv last night.
During the operation, CENTCOM forces also shot down several Houthi drones and an anti-ship cruise missile over the Red Sea, according to the statement.
“The strike reflects CENTCOM’s continued commitment to protecting American and coalition personnel, regional partners, and international shipping,” the statement added.
I hope that’s clear to everyone!
