(Worthy News) – Using long-range B-2 stealth bombers, the United States on Wednesday (October 16) launched airstrikes targeting “hardened underground facilities housing missiles and weapons components” used by Houthi rebels around Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, Sky News reports.
Analysts note the strike was an apparent warning to Iran to back off further escalating ongoing regional conflicts involving its Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthi proxies.
Aside from working to bring down the internationally recognized government of Yemen, the Shiite Islamic Houthis have been attacking Israeli, US and other international targets since the Hamas October 7 attack on Israel last year: the group said it was acting in solidarity with Hamas.
“U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted multiple, precision airstrikes on numerous Iran-backed Houthi weapons storage facilities within Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen that contained various advanced conventional weapons used to target U.S. and international military and civilian vessels navigating international waters throughout the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden,” the US military said in a press release Wednesday.
“These actions were taken to degrade the Houthi’s capability to continue their reckless and unlawful attacks on international commercial shipping and on U.S., coalition, and merchant personnel and vessels in the Red Sea, Bab Al-Mandeb Strait, and the Gulf of Aden, and to degrade their ability to threaten regional partners,” CENTCOM said.
“Our battle damage assessments are underway and do not indicate civilian casualties. We will provide updates as information is confirmed,” CENTCOM added.
