U.S. Central Command released video footage on Tuesday of U.S. “precision airstrikes” earlier this month against a missile storage site and a command-and-control center which Iran-backed Houthi terrorists operate in Sanaa, Yemen.
“CENTCOM forces conducted the deliberate strikes to disrupt and degrade Houthi operations, such as attacks against U.S. Navy warships and merchant vessels in the Southern Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb and Gulf of Aden,” the Pentagon stated.
The Defense Department added that U.S. Air Force and Navy forces, including F/A-18 fighter jets, shot down several Houthi drones and an anti-ship cruise missile over the Red Sea.
“The strike reflects CENTCOM’s ongoing commitment to protect U.S. and coalition personnel, regional partners and international shipping,” the Pentagon said.
