The United States said on Monday that the latest attacks on Houthi targets in Yemen were “successful” and destroyed missiles, weapons storage sites and drone systems, according to a senior military official and a senior defense officer.
Authorities, who briefed reporters after the Monday afternoon raid, said the action “achieved the desired effect.”
“We observed good impacts and effects at all 8 sites, assessing that we did indeed destroy missiles, unmanned aerial systems and weapons storage areas,” the official said.
A senior defense official who was also at the briefing said the strikes “removed significant Houthis capability” but warned they still have additional weapons they can use to fire on international shipping lanes in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
For the first time, the US also struck an underground storage facility used by the Houthis, the official said.
The storage site was assessed as having “most advanced conventional weaponry,” including missiles and one-way attack drones.
