Yemen : US forces launch multiple strikes from air and sea on Houthi rebels

US forces have launched a number of attacks against Houthi targets in Yemen, with navy ships and aircraft used in the strikes.
US Central Command (Centcom) carried out the strikes against the Iranian-backed forces in the capital, Sana'a, and coastal locations within territory controlled by the group.
Centcom shared a video of the strikes which showed US aircraft taking off to carry out the strikes, as well as missiles being launched from a US Navy vessel.
These include the AGM-65 Maverick air-to-ground missile, which may have been used in the strikes against the Houthis.
Super Hornets can also carry the AIM-120 air-to-air missile, with the aircraft capable of carrying six of these, the AIM-9 Sidewinder, a short-range air-to-air missile, of which the aircraft can carry two on the wing tips as well as additional missiles on the underwing.
The Houthi targets were a command and control facility and advanced conventional weapon (ACW) production and storage facilities, which included missiles and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV).
The US Department of Defence said these had been used by the Houthis to attack warships and merchant vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
A Houthi coastal radar site, seven cruise missiles and a one-way attack UAV over the Red Sea were also destroyed.
The Pentagon said there were no injuries or damage to US personnel or equipment in either incident, and the aim of the strikes was to degrade Iranian-backed Houthi efforts to threaten partners and military and merchant ships in the region.
