US Central Command described military strikes against Houthi sites as a ‘success’ in a statement on Friday morning.
The US Central Command said in its statement they hold the Iranian-backed Houthis responsible for attacks on international shipping over the past few weeks.
These strikes aimed to undermine the Houthi ability to carry out more attacks.
The US and British military were bombing more than a dozen sites used by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen on Thursday, in a massive retaliatory strike using warship-launched Tomahawk missiles and fighter jets, several US officials told The Associated Press.
The military targets included logistical hubs, air defense systems and weapons storage locations, they said.
