Shafaq News / A joint statement said that the United States and Britain carried out strikes on Saturday on 36 targets linked to the Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen.

 

The statement added that underground facilities belonging to the Houthis were targeted, including weapons stores, systems, missile launchers, and other capabilities.

 

For its part, the US Central Command, Centcom, said that it carried out self-defense strikes against six Houthi anti-ship cruise missiles prepared to be launched against ships in the Red Sea.

 

In a statement, Centcom said: “US forces identified cruise missiles in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen and determined that they represented an imminent threat to US Navy ships and commercial vessels in the region.

 

The statement added: “This action will protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer for the US Navy and commercial ships.”

 

The US Department of Defense (Pentagon) said that the strikes targeted underground facilities to store weapons, systems, missile launchers, and other capabilities that the Houthis use to attack shipping in the Red Sea. She added that the strikes targeted 13 locations across the country.

 

US Defense Secretary Austin Lloyd said, "This collective action sends a clear message to the Houthis that they will continue to bear more repercussions if they do not stop their illegal attacks on international shipping and naval vessels."

 

For his part, British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps confirmed, "This is not an escalation." He added, "We have already succeeded in targeting launch pads and storage sites involved in Houthi attacks, and I am confident that our recent strikes have further undermined the Houthis' capabilities."

 

The American bombing targeted Houthi sites in a number of Yemeni governorates, including the capital, Sanaa, Taiz, Hajjah, Al-Bayda, and other governorates.

 

The Houthi-run Al-Masirah Channel reported that a series of new strikes on Saturday night targeted six governorates under the control of the Houthis in Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa, accusing the United States and Britain of carrying them out.

 

The channel reported shortly before midnight (9:00 GMT) on social media that “the raids of the American-British aggression targeted the areas of Al-Nahdain and Attan, south of the capital.”

 

Witnesses reported to Agence France-Presse that they heard violent explosions and heavy aircraft overflights. Later, the march announced other strikes targeting the governorates of Hajjah, Dhamar, Al-Bayda, Taiz, and Al-Hudaydah.

Exactly, now O'Bummer and O' Brandon have a 4th war front to deal with.

#1 - Israel  

#2- Ukraine 

#3- Iraq/Syria

#4- Yemen

These guys are in way over their heads and clearly the foreign policy of the O'Bummer - O'Brandon administration (both current and past) isn't working .............
