(Worthy News) – The US launched multiple strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen on Saturday evening, according to a US Defense official. The strikes targeted several advanced weapons storage facilities across at least three locations, which were being used to threaten shipping vessels navigating international waters off the coast of Yemen.
A U.S. defense official told ABC News that U.S. Central Command forces “conducted multiple airstrikes on numerous Iran-backed Houthi weapons storage facilities within Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.”
“The official explained that “the targets contained various advanced conventional weapons used to target military and civilian vessels navigating international waters throughout the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.”
For months, the Iran-backed Houthis have targeted ships in the Red Sea, a major global shipping route, claiming these attacks are retaliation for Israel’s military actions against Hamas in Gaza.
The Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah, all part of an Iran-led ‘axis of evil’ that spans Yemen, Syria, Gaza, and Iraq, have been targeting Israel and its allies since the conflict began last year. They have declared that they will continue their attacks on Israel and its allies until a ceasefire is established in Gaza.
