The US military conducted precision airstrikes against a missile storage and command facility operated by Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen's capital, Sana'a, to disrupt their operations.
The strikes were a reflection of the US's commitment to protect US and coalition personnel, regional partners, and international shipping from attacks by the Houthis.
Following recent Houthi missile strikes on Israel, the US is working to enhance UN powers to interdict ships heading to Yemen, aiming to weaken the group.
In the past year, Houthis have attacked commercial shipping in the Red Sea, attempting to enforce a naval blockade on Israel amid ongoing conflicts.
