The United States conducted a series of strikes targeting five 'hardened underground weapons storage locations' in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. The strikes were carried out by B-2 stealth bombers, as confirmed by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Wednesday evening.
Austin described the operation as a unique demonstration of the US' ability to target facilities that adversaries attempt to shield from attacks, even when deeply buried underground or fortified. The use of US Air Force B-2 Spirit long-range stealth bombers showcased the country's global strike capabilities to engage targets as needed, regardless of location.
