US, UK Launch Another Round of Heavy Strikes on Yemen
The US and the UK launched another round of joint missile strikes in Yemen on Saturday night as the situation in the Red Sea continues to escalate, and the Houthis show no sign of backing down.
US Central Command said strikes were launched against 13 targets in 36 locations in Houthi-controlled Yemen, where most of Yemen’s population lives. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea reported 48 strikes in multiple governorates, including Sanaa, Hodeidah, Taiz, al-Bayda, Hajjah, and Saada.
CENTCOM claimed the strikes hit “multiple underground storage facilities, command and control, missile systems, UAV storage and operations sites, radars, and helicopters.” The command said the bombing was supported by Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, and New Zealand.
