WASHINGTON, United States — The United States said it conducted strikes on Huthi targets in the rebel-held capital Sanaa on Saturday, including what it said was a missile storage center and a “command-and-control facility.”

During the operation, American forces also shot down multiple Huthi drones and an anti-ship cruise missile over the Red Sea, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement.

“CENTCOM forces conducted the deliberate strikes to disrupt and degrade Huthi operations, such as attacks against US Navy warships and merchant vessels,” it said.

Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Undersecretary for Integrated Sciences Carlos Primo David during a forum organized by the Chamber of Mines of the Philippines (COMP) said the DENR rolled out a digital application process in three regions of the country.

“The strike reflects CENTCOM’s ongoing commitment to protect US and coalition personnel, regional partners, and international shipping.”

The Huthis have repeatedly targeted merchant vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden that they say are Israeli-linked, claiming solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, where Israel and Hamas have been at war since October 7, 2023.

The strikes on shipping by the Huthis, who have also launched missiles at Israel, have prompted retaliatory strikes by the United States and Britain.

The US attack on Sanaa came the same day that a Huthi missile struck Israel’s commercial hub Tel Aviv, wounding 16 people in the second such strike in days.
