Washington: Amid the ongoing Middle East crisis, the United States launched precision strikes on underground weapons storage facilities in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. The US Department of Defence (Pentagon) in a statement informed about the strikes and said that US military forces targeted five hardened underground weapons storage locations.
“Today (October 16), US military forces, including US Air Force B-2 bombers, conducted precision strikes against five hardened underground weapons storage locations in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. US forces targeted several of the Houthis’ underground facilities housing various weapons components of types that the Houthis have used to target civilian and military vessels throughout the region.”
It further said that the strikes were a unique demonstration of the United States’ ability to target facilities that their adversaries seek to keep out of reach. “The employment of US Air Force B-2 Spirit long-range stealth bombers demonstrate US global strike capabilities to take action against these targets when necessary, anytime, anywhere,” the statement added.
The Pentagon condemned Houthis for their relentless attacks on US and international vessels passing through the Red Sea, Bab Al-Mandeb Strait, and Gulf of Aden and asserted that these unlawful attacks have severely disrupted global commerce.
