US and British fighter jets, along with other allies, have carried out strikes on 18 Houthi targets in Yemen. This was reported by the press service of the US Department of Defense on Saturday, February 24.

“US and UK militaries, with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and New Zealand, carried out a further series of strikes on several targets in areas of Yemen controlled by the Houthi rebels ,” the report said.

The strikes hit 18 Houthi targets in eight locations in Yemen linked to underground weapons storage facilities, missile depots, drones, air defense systems, radars and a helicopter.

“These precision strikes are designed to disrupt and weaken the capabilities that the Houthis use to threaten global trade, shipping and the lives of sailors in one of the world’s most important waterways,” the statement said. .

This is the fourth joint allied operation against the Houthis in Yemen.

The US Department of Defense noted that more than 45 Houthi attacks on commercial and naval vessels since mid-November 2023 pose a threat to the global economy, regional security and stability and require an international response.

Remind you that the Yemeni Houthis are attacking ships in the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the Gulf of Oman. So, they are looking for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. On January 12, the United States and Great Britain began launching strikes against the Houthis.

Recently, the Houthis sank the bulk carrier Rubymar, registered in the UK. She sailed under the flag of Belize from the UAE to Bulgaria and sank in the Gulf of Oman.
