U.S. strikes 15 Houthi targets in Yemen

WASHINGTON: U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces on Friday conducted strikes on 15 targets in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, the command said.

CENTCOM said in a post on social media platform X the targets “included Houthi offensive military capabilities.”

The U.S. strikes came as Washington is still in discussion with Israel about the way Israel will retaliate against Iran’s missile attacks on Tuesday, and as Israel continues with its ground operation in Lebanon.
