US steps up strikes on Houthis as tensions with Israel flare

Washington | The Biden administration directed new airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen on Tuesday (Wednesday AEDT), as the United States and its ally Israel struggle to halt a campaign of regional assaults by the Iranian-backed militant group.

US Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, said the attacks struck targets in coastal Yemen and the capital Sanaa, including a command node and facilities used for manufacturing and storing weapons. The operations, which also included strikes on Monday, destroyed radar positions and one-way aerial drones, Centcom said in a statement.
