Pentagon Reveals Details of Initial U.S. Strikes on Yemen’s Houthis

Washington- The Pentagon has disclosed key details regarding the initial wave of U.S. airstrikes on Houthi-controlled territories in Yemen, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. The strikes, which form part of a broader military response, were launched to counter increasing threats to international shipping in the Red Sea.
Targeting Houthi Military Capabilities
According to U.S. defense officials, the operation targeted Houthi military infrastructure, specifically missile storage sites, radar systems, and drone launch platforms. The Pentagon described the strikes as “precise and calculated”, aimed at disrupting the Houthis’ ability to endanger maritime security in the region.
Regional Coordination and Response
The U.S. military emphasized that the operation was conducted in coordination with regional allies and was carefully planned to minimize civilian casualties. However, Houthi leaders have strongly condemned the strikes, alleging that they targeted civilian areas and have vowed retaliatory measures in response.
Escalating Tensions and Humanitarian Concerns
This escalation signals a new phase in the conflict, with both Washington and the Houthis preparing for further confrontations. The international community has expressed growing concerns over the humanitarian consequences of continued military action in Yemen, warning of potential repercussions for regional stability.
