What we know about the US strikes on the Houthis in Yemen

 Using B-2 stealth bombers, the United States has launched a series of strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, focusing on five underground weapons storage facilities.

What you need to know about the attack is as follows:

What are the Houthis and why are they under US attack? The Houthis are essential for an Iran-moved coalition of aggressor bunches in the Center East.

Since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas conflict, the alliance, which includes Yemen, Syria, Gaza, and Iraq, has been attacking Israel. The Houthis claim that they will continue to strike Israel and its allies until a ceasefire in the Palestinian enclave is reached.

The Houthis have been targeting ships in the Red Sea, one of the busiest waterways in the world, for months as a response to the war in Gaza, despite the fact that they do not pose as much of a threat to Israel and the United States as other Iranian proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah do.

After more than a year of Houthi attacks on US and international vessels in the region, Austin claimed he authorized the US strikes on behalf of President Joe Biden to "further degrade" their capabilities. The offices were holding "different weapons parts" used to target vessels in the Center East, the safeguard secretary said.

For what reason did the US utilize B-2 planes? Since the start of the war in Gaza, this was the first time the US used the B-2 stealth bomber to attack the Houthis in Yemen. The B-2 is a lot bigger stage than the warrior flies that have been utilized such a long ways to target Houthi offices and weapons, equipped for conveying a far heavier heap of bombs.

According to Austin, US forces demonstrated their capability to target facilities that "our adversaries seek to keep out of reach, no matter how deeply buried underground, hardened, or fortified," by employing the B-2 bomber.

What responses have the Houthis provided? A Houthi representative said "America will take care of its hostility on Yemen, and as we have said previously, its hostility won't hinder Yemen from its position on the side of Gaza."
