Over 100 Houthi targets hit in US bombing campaign, defense official says
“When the Houthis stop shooting at us, we will stop shooting at them,” the official said, citing previous comments by Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth.”
The US military has struck more than 100 Houthi targets in Yemen since launching its bombing campaign last month, an American defense official told Al Arabiya English on Tuesday.
“We have destroyed command and control facilities, weapons manufacturing facilities, and advanced weapons storage locations. We have also confirmed the death of several Houthi leaders,” the official said, without providing additional details on who exactly was killed.
Among the assets used in the campaign are recently deployed B-2 stealth bombers, capable of carrying 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs. Officials say the bombers have been conducting operations against underground Houthi facilities and weapons storage sites. Several of the aircraft have been stationed in the Indian Ocean to support the strikes.
