US says launches five new strikes on Huthi weapons systems
US forces in the Red Sea have successfully conducted 'five self-defense strikes' to foil attacks by land and sea from Huthi-controlled areas of Yemen, the American military said Sunday.
The strikes occurred between 3:00 pm and 8:00 pm Saturday Sanaa time (1200 and 1700 GMT), the US Central Command said, and are part of a series of actions taken by the United States and its allies against the Huthis, aimed at halting the Iran-backed rebels' repeated attacks on Red Sea shipping lanes.
