U.S. conducts airstrikes on Houthi weapons facilities in Yemen

nbcnews.com — October 17, 2024, 03:00 AM UTC

Summary: The U.S. has conducted airstrikes on Houthi weapons storage facilities in Yemen, targeting arms used against civilian vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. This marks the first use of B-2 bombers in these operations.

The strikes come as the Houthis have increased missile and drone attacks on shipping, claiming support for Hamas amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The U.S. previously launched airstrikes against the Houthis in January in response to similar threats.

The Red Sea is a critical shipping route, with $1 trillion in goods passing through annually. Some shipping companies had previously suspended operations in the area due to Houthi attacks.
