US strikes underground Houthi weapons depots used to attack ships

The US military says it carried out a wave of strikes against what it said were underground arms facilities of Iran-backed Houthi militias.

The US Central Command said in a statement that Wednesday’s strikes targeted weapons used by the Houthis to attack ships in the Red Sea.

The United States and its allies have carried out repeated strikes on the Houthis, who have continued to target shipping.
