According to numerous US sources, American and British troops struck various locations in Yemen that the Houthis, who are supported by Iran, utilize. This is the second time that the two partners have coordinated retaliatory operations against the rebels' ability to fire missiles. The strikes took place on Monday night.

Officials said that the US and Britain destroyed the Houthi missile launchers and storage facilities by using fighter planes and Tomahawk missiles fired from warships and submarines. The authorities discussed the current mission while remaining anonymous.

The combined operation takes place over ten days after fighter planes and warships from the US and the UK assaulted over sixty targets at twenty-eight sites. Since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas conflict in October, this was the first time the US military has responded to a persistent campaign of Houthi drone and missile strikes on commercial boats.

Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, was the target of several US and British attacks, according to a statement released online by the Houthis' media office. Additionally, south Sanaa resident Jamal Hassan told The Associated Press that two attacks happened close to his house, setting off streetcar alarms. On Monday night, an Associated Press correspondent in Sanaa also heard jets passing above.

The most recent round of alliance strikes comes after US fighter aircraft and ship-based Tomahawks attacked Houthi missile installations almost every day for the last week. The quick-reaction operations, which use armed and ready-to-fire launchers, show off the military's increasing capacity to monitor, identify, and disrupt terrorist activity in Yemen, according to officials.

The Houthis' assault against Red Sea commerce continues despite retaliatory strikes, as seen by the chaotic surge of attacks and retaliation involving the US, its friends, and adversaries. This is the larger regional conflict that the US is attempting to avert. has been drawing nearer to reality for months.

The Houthis have been attacking ships in the region's waterways for months, claiming that they are either bound for Israeli ports or have ties to Israel. They claim that their attacks are meant to put a stop to Israeli air and military offensives in the Gaza Strip, which started with an assault in southern Israel on October 7 by the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas. However, any such link with the ships that are the targets of rebel strikes has become more shaky as the attacks go on.
