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".

1. We will continue to make clear to the Houthis that there will be consequences for their illegal and reckless attacks.
2. The employment of U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit long-range stealth bombers demonstrate U.S. global strike capabilities to take action against these targets when necessary, anytime, anywhere.
3. This was a unique demonstration of the United States' ability to target facilities that our adversaries seek to keep out of reach, no matter how deeply buried underground, hardened, or fortified.
4. At the direction of President Biden, I authorized these targeted strikes to further degrade the Houthis' capability to continue their destabilizing behavior and to protect and defend U.S. forces and personnel in one of the world's most critical waterways.
