U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces have conducted precision airstrikes against two Houthi weapon storage facilities in Yemen, responding to recent attacks on U.S. Navy warships and commercial vessels in the Red Sea.

U.S. forces have been working to degrade the capabilities of the Iranian-backed Houthis as the group continues targeting ships in the region. Late last month, CENTCOM confirmed striking several Houthi targets near the capital city of Sanaa, hitting a command hub and weapons production facility as well as a bunker with missiles and drones.
