America Launches 4 Strikes on Houthi Areas in Yemen

The U.S. Central Command indicated today, Thursday, that "its forces launched four strikes yesterday, Wednesday, on areas under Houthi control in Yemen, where the Iran-aligned group was preparing to target ships in the Red Sea." It stated, "U.S. forces seized advanced conventional weapons and other lethal aid from Iran that were heading to Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen aboard a ship in the Arabian Sea on January 28." The Houthis have been attacking cargo ships in the Red Sea with drones and missiles since mid-November, in support of the Palestinians in Gaza.
