A new American strike directed by the United States, on Thursday, against the Houthis, east of Sanaa

A new American strike directed by the United States, on Thursday, against the Houthis, east of Sanaa, resulted in the destruction of a missile depot and ballistic platforms of the coup militias.

Military sources in Sanaa told the Emirati Gulf newspaper Al Ain News that the American bombing that Sanaa and Saada witnessed at dawn today destroyed important Houthi military capabilities that were stored underground.

The sources added that the bombing destroyed a missile storage warehouse at the bottom of Mount Nuqum, and the force of destruction was so great that the warehouse was blown up with all the multi-range missiles it contained.

At dawn on Thursday, American bombers bombed Houthi positions in Sanaa and Saada, causing violent explosions that erupted throughout the capital, Sanaa.

Residents in Sanaa said that today's explosions were unprecedented and looked like an earthquake due to the intensity of the concussion they caused.

In a statement at dawn today, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that US Air Force B-2 bombers carried out precise strikes against five underground weapons storage sites in areas controlled by the Houthis in Yemen.

Austin stressed that the United States is capable of targeting its opponents’ facilities, whether they are underground or fortified, noting that they include conventional weapons used to target military and civilian ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

According to the sources, old Russian SAM-type missiles that were developed and modernized by Iranian experts were destroyed, in addition to missiles with a range of 300 to 500 kilometers and other missiles used by militias to target ships in the Red Sea.

The sources indicated that 3 ballistic missile launchers were destroyed in the bombing that targeted Sanaa at dawn on Thursday.

Observers considered the American bombing of ground warehouses and tunnels belonging to the Houthi militias a strongly worded American message and an indication that Washington would begin a painful deterrence operation if the Houthi militias continued their operations against ships and shipping lines in the Red Sea.

The Houthi militias recently claimed responsibility for targeting more than 188 ships since the start of their naval attacks.

Since last January, American and British forces have launched strikes as part of a military coalition aimed at curbing the capabilities of the Houthis and limiting their attacks against international shipping lines passing through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

Since last November, the Houthis have been launching missile and drone attacks on the movement of ships in the Red Sea region in what they say is solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza war, which has affected about 12% of global trade.
