The United States carried out several airstrikes overnight from Saturday to Sunday, November 10, targeting weapons storage facilities of the Houthi rebels in Yemen, the Pentagon announced. The sophisticated weapons in question were used by this Iran-backed group to attack civilian and military ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, a senior American official told AFP.

The Houthi channel, Al-Massira, reported three strikes in several neighborhoods of Sanaa, the capital of Yemen. The Houthis, who control large swaths of Yemen, have for months been carrying out attacks against Israel and ships allegedly linked to them, claiming to act in solidarity with the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, opposed to Israel in the Gaza Strip for a year. .

In response, the United States and the United Kingdom regularly carry out strikes against Houthi installations, but without having succeeded at this stage in destroying the operational capacity of the movement. In mid-October, the United States indicated that it had struck the Houthis for the first time using B-2 stealth strategic bombers.
