The U.S. military carried out airstrikes on more than 800 targets in Houthi-controlled parts of Yemen since March 15, U.S. Central Command said this past week.
These strikes have destroyed multiple command-and-control facilities, air defense systems, advanced weapons manufacturing facilities, advanced weapons storage locations, and killed hundreds of Houthi fighters and numerous Houthi leaders,” CENTCOM spokesman Dave Eastburn said in a statement to Task & Purpose, echoing comments given to reporters at the end of the week.
Eastburn added that “[c]redible open sources report over 650 Houthi casualties to date,” although Task & Purpose could not independently verify if those killed were members of the Houthi movement.
“While the Houthis have continued to attack our vessels, our operations have degraded the pace and effectiveness of their attacks,” CENTCOM posted on X on Sunday. “Ballistic missile launches have dropped by 69%. Additionally, attacks from one way attack drones have decreased by 55%.”
