American-British Airstrikes on Al-Jabana Area West of Hudaydah

Media outlets affiliated with the Iran-backed Houthi group reported on Tuesday evening about American-British airstrikes targeting the Al-Jabana area west of Hudaydah in Yemen. Since November, Houthi rebels have launched dozens of missile and drone attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea that they consider linked to Israel or heading to its ports. Washington is leading an international naval coalition aimed at "protecting" maritime navigation in this strategic region through which 12% of global trade passes. To deter them, American and British forces have been carrying out strikes on Houthi positions in Yemen since January 12. The U.S. military occasionally conducts strikes on missiles and drones it claims are ready for launch.
