The US military and its allies on Thursday launched a major counteroffensive in Yemen that hit several Houthi targets after months of drone and missile attacks by the Iran-backed rebels that threatened trade shipping in the Red Sea.
A senior military official told reporters late Thursday that the US and UK carried out attacks launched from planes, ships and submarines, destroying multiple targets in Houthi-held areas of Yemen. Defense Minister Lloyd Austin said the operation was carried out with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands.
