US, UK intensify strikes on Houthis
The strikes come less than a day after the coalition led by the US and UK struck 36 targets belonging to the Houthis in 13 different locations, including in Yemen's capital, Sana'a, on Saturday night.
The strikes on Saturday night were carried out by the US and UK with support from Australia, Bahrain, Denmark, Canada, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. The coalition noted that the precision strikes targeted sites associated with the Houthis underground weapons storage facilities, missile systems and launchers, air defense systems, and radars.
The coalition stressed that the strikes were "intended to disrupt and degrade the capabilities that the Houthis use to threaten global trade, and the lives of innocent mariners, and are in a response to a series of illegal, dangerous, and destabilizing Houthi actions."
The Houthis have conducted over 30 attacks on commercial and naval vessels since mid-November, according to the coalition.
Later on Sunday morning, US CENTCOM targeted a land attack cruise missile and four anti-ship cruise missiles belonging to the Houthis in two separate strikes, according to a statement published by CENTCOM on Sunday night.
