The U.S. military struck more than a dozen Houthi targets in Yemen on Friday, going after weapons systems, bases and other equipment belonging to the Iranian-backed rebels, U.S. officials confirmed, reported AP.
Last night, the US military attacked five underground warehouses of the Houthis' advanced military equipment in the provinces of Sana'a and Sa’ada in Yemen. For the first time since the beginning of the war, the US military used the B-2 heavy bombers and not with fighter planes, reported Amir Tsarfati.
Houthi media said seven strikes hit the airport in Hodeida, a major port city, and the Katheib area, which has a Houthi-controlled military base. Four more strikes hit the Seiyana area in Sanaa, the capital, and two strikes hit the Dhamar province. The Houthi media office also reported three air raids in Bayda province, southeast of Sanaa.
