U.S. Central Command
(CENTCOM) forces have conducted precision airstrikes on Houthi weapons storage
facilities in Yemen amid the group’s ongoing threats to international shipping
in the Red Sea region.
The operation, carried
out on November 9-10, targeted multiple facilities housing advanced
conventional weapons used by the Iran-backed Houthis to threaten U.S. and
international vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Video shared by CENTCOM
showed a strike on a Houthi truck by a MQ-9 “Reaper” drone. The action comes as a direct response to
repeated and unlawful Houthi attacks on commercial shipping and military
vessels. “These targeted operations aim to degrade the Houthi’s ability to
threaten regional partners and international shipping,” a CENTCOM spokesperson
stated.
CENTCOM also confirmed
details of a previously reported incident involving the U.S. Navy destroyers USS
Stockdale and USS Spruance. Supported by Air Force and
Navy aircraft, the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers successfully
intercepted a barrage of Houthi-launched weapons in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait,
neutralizing eight one-way attack uncrewed aerial systems, five anti-ship
ballistic missiles, and four anti-ship cruise missiles.The U.S. military reported no injuries or damage to its personnel or
equipment during these operations.
“CENTCOM remains
vigilant in its efforts to safeguard maritime traffic in the Red Sea and Gulf
of Aden,” the spokesperson added, emphasizing the command’s readiness to
address any threats to regional stability.
For nearly a year,
Iranian-backed Houthis have attacked commercial ships and naval forces in the
Red Sea region, claiming solidarity with Palestinians. These strikes have
disrupted shipping routes, forcing vessels to detour and increasing costsIn response, U.S. forces have carried out
numerous defensive attacks on Houthi targets in Yemen, including one in October
that involved the use of U.S. Air Force B-2 stealth bombers targetting Houthi
weapons storage facilities.
