US Stealth Bombers Conduct Precision Strikes Against Houthi Weapons Facilities in Yemen

The recent strikes conducted by the US military against the Houthis in Yemen were aimed at countering the militia's "destabilizing behavior". The strikes, carried out by B-2 stealth bombers, targeted five underground weapons storage locations in areas controlled by the Houthi militia. According to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the strikes were ordered by President Biden to further degrade the Houthis' capability to attack ships. Austin stated that the strikes were a "unique demonstration of the United States' ability".
