Washington | US fighter jets struck Iranian-backed Houthi rebel sites for the sixth time Friday (Saturday AEDT), taking out three anti-ship missiles in Yemen that were prepared to fire, according to US officials.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing military operations, said the strikes were carried out by F/A-18 aircraft off the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier. And they resembled similar US attacks on Houthi launchers that have been occurring almost daily this week.
