US Strikes Houthi Weapons Facilities in Yemen
by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – As Iran-backed Yemeni Houthi insurgents continue to violently disrupt US, Israeli, and Western commercial shipping in the Middle East, the US military on January 8 carried out air strikes against two of the militant group’s weapons storage facilities in Yemen. The US suffered no injuries or damage to property in the operation.
Wednesday’s strikes followed talks between US Central Command commander, Navy Vice Adm. Brad Cooper and the Israel Defense Forces Deputy Chief of Staff Amir Baram on how to proceed against the Houthis.
“U.S. Central Command forces conducted multiple precision strikes against two Iranian-backed Houthi underground Advanced Conventional Weapon (ACW) storage facilities within Houthi-controlled territories of Yemen, Jan. 8. The Houthis used these facilities to conduct attacks against U.S. Navy warships and merchant vessels in the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden,” CENTCOM said in a press release after the strikes.
In a statement to reporters, Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh added: “We’re going to continue to work to degrade capabilities and to ensure upholding the international rules-based order and the free flow of commerce through that region. We continue to be successful in our strikes.”
“Again, we’re not going to be able to take off the map every single capability, but every single time that we conduct a dynamic strike, or do the strikes that you saw CENTCOM announce earlier this morning, that further degrades capabilities that they can use against commercial ships or our own Navy ships,” Singh said.
