U.S. Central Command
(CENTCOM) reports that U.S. forces conducted multiple precision strikes
against Iran-backed Houthi targets in Sana’a and coastal locations within Houthi-controlled territory
in Yemen, Dec. 30 and 31.
On Dec. 30 and 31, U.S. Navy ships and aircraft
targeted a Houthi command and control facility and advanced conventional weapon
(ACW) production and storage facilities that included missiles and uncrewed
aerial vehicles (UAV). CENTCOM says these facilities were used in Houthi
operations, such as attacks against U.S. Navy warships and merchant vessels in
the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. In
addition, U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force aircraft destroyed a Houthi coastal
radar site and seven cruise missiles and one-way attack UAVs over the Red Sea. There
were no injuries or damage to U.S. personnel or equipment in either incident.
CENTCOM says that the strikes are a part of its
effort to degrade Iran-backed Houthi efforts to threaten regional partners and
military and merchant vessels in the region.
