As of: February 24, 2024 11:35 p.m

The USA and Great Britain have once again bombed Houthi positions in Yemen. According to US information, the targets included underground weapons depots, drones and militia radar systems.

According to official information, US and British forces attacked more than a dozen Houthi targets in Yemen in the evening. With the support of other countries, 18 targets of the Iran-backed militia were attacked in eight locations in Yemen on Sunday night, the US Department of Defense said in Washington. The targets included underground Houthi weapons depots, missile storage facilities, drones, air defense systems and radar systems, the Pentagon said.

Houthi targets have been attacked several times

The USA and Great Britain are reacting to the Houthis’ ongoing attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. As a result, they see international shipping and world trade at risk. The two countries have therefore carried out military actions against the group linked to Iran on several occasions.

According to their own statements, the Houthis are acting in solidarity with the Islamist Hamas in the Gaza Strip and want to force an end to the Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip by shelling merchant ships. These are a response to the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7th in the Israeli border area.
