US conducts airstrikes on Houthi weapons facilities in Yemen

cnn.com — October 17, 2024, 04:00 AM UTC

Summary: The US conducted airstrikes in Yemen on Wednesday, targeting Iran-backed Houthi weapons storage facilities, including underground sites. This marks the first use of B-2 bombers against the Houthis, a shift from previous strikes by fighter jets.

The strikes come amid rising tensions in the region, with ongoing conflicts involving Israel, Hezbollah, and Hamas. The US has previously partnered with the UK for Houthi strikes, but this operation was conducted solely by the US.

The Houthis have been attacking commercial shipping and US Navy assets, claiming support for Hamas and Hezbollah. Despite US efforts to counter these attacks, the Houthis have continued their operations, including missile launches toward Israel.
