The US Department of Defense (the Pentagon) revealed the military losses suffered by the Houthis, as a Pentagon statement said that more than 100 missiles and launchers were destroyed in strikes on Houthi positions in Yemen.

Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder said in a press conference that the strikes on the Iran-backed Houthis, which began in January, destroyed more than 100 missiles and launchers.

He added that since the first strikes by the international coalition on January 11, it has destroyed more than 100 missiles and launchers, in addition to many drones, radars and weapons storage areas.

He continued that the strikes that took place on February 3 destroyed or caused serious damage to 35 targets out of 36, including weapons storage places, radars, 3 helicopters, command and control centers, and missile systems.

In the latest strikes, Houthi-affiliated media said that, today, Friday, American and British bombing targeted the Al-Kathib and Al-Jabbanah areas in Hodeidah.

Also, Houthi media reported that American and British bombing also targeted the Taif area in Al-Durayhimi District in Hodeidah.

Before that, the US military announced that US Central Command forces, on Thursday, launched seven “self-defense” strikes against four Houthi drone boats and seven anti-ship cruise missiles that were prepared to be launched at ships in the Red Sea.

A statement said, Thursday, that US Central Command forces carried out two strikes in self-defense yesterday, targeting two Houthi anti-ship cruise missiles that were ready to be fired at two ships in the Red Sea.

The statement added, "Later that day, at 11:30 pm (Sanaa time), US Central Command forces carried out a second strike targeting a Houthi ground attack cruise missile that was ready for launch."

This comes as Houthi media said, on Thursday, that 3 American-British raids hit the Ras Issa area in Hodeidah.

On Wednesday, Houthi media reported new American and British strikes targeting Hodeidah Governorate in western Yemen, but neither Washington nor London confirmed launching new raids.

The Houthi-affiliated Saba Net news agency said in a post on the “X” platform: “An American-British aggression targeted, with two raids, the Ras Issa area in the Al-Salif District” in Hodeidah Governorate.
