United States bombings of Houthi weapons storage facilities in Yemen


The US conducted airstrikes in Yemen targeting underground Houthi weapons storage facilities in response to attacks on civilian and military vessels in the region. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that the strikes were aimed at degrading the Houthis’ capabilities and protecting US forces in critical waterways. The use of B-2 bombers in these strikes marked a unique demonstration of the US military’s ability to target hardened facilities. The Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, have been conducting attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden in response to the conflict in Gaza. The annual flow of goods through the Red Sea, valued at $1 trillion, has been disrupted by these attacks, leading some shippers to suspend service in the region. The conflict in Yemen, which began when the Houthis seized the capital in 2014, has led to extreme hardship and has been labeled as the largest humanitarian crisis in the world by the United Nations. The US airstrikes against the Houthis are part of ongoing efforts to address the destabilizing behavior of the rebel group. President Joe Biden authorized the strikes, and additional updates on the situation are expected.
