The U.S. military struck more than a dozen Houthi targets in Yemen on Friday, attacking the Iranian proxy’s bases and weapons systems, according to the Pentagon.
U.S. Central Command (Centcom) forces conducted strikes on 15 Houthi targets around 5 p.m. local time. The targets included “Houthi offensive military capabilities,” according to a statement from the command, which is responsible for protecting U.S. interests in the Middle East.
“These actions were taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S., coalition, and merchant vessels,” the statement adds.
