The Pentagon has announced that recent US airstrikes in Yemen successfully targeted and eliminated key Houthi leaders. 

These strikes are part of an intensified campaign aimed at curbing the group's influence and disrupting their operations in the region.

According to officials, the airstrikes focused on strategic locations, including command centers and weapons facilities. 

The operation is said to have dealt a significant blow to the Houthi leadership, although specific details about the individuals targeted remain classified.

This development comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with the Houthis accused of threatening maritime security and regional stability. 

The Pentagon emphasized that these actions are part of broader efforts to protect international shipping routes and counter threats posed by the group.

The situation continues to evolve, with international observers closely monitoring the impact of these operations on the ongoing conflict in Yemen.
