The Pentagon announced that the U.S. has conducted "precision strikes" on five weapons storage sites in Yemen controlled by the Houthi group. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that U.S. forces, including long-range bombers, targeted underground facilities that were being used to launch attacks on civilian and military ships in the region. This operation underscores the U.S. capability to strike facilities that adversaries attempt to keep hidden. Since November, the Houthis have reportedly attacked around 100 ships in the Red Sea, sinking two vessels, claiming these actions are retaliation for Israel's military campaign in Gaza.
