The United States has intensified its military operations in Yemen, targeting Houthi-controlled weapons depots in three key governorates: Sa'dah, Al Bayda, and Al Hudaydah.

These airstrikes, confirmed by U.S. Central Command, aim to dismantle advanced weaponry and infrastructure used by the Houthis to threaten maritime security in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

Key targets included underground storage facilities and fortified sites housing ballistic missile components, drone manufacturing equipment, explosives, and ammunition. In Sa'dah, strikes focused on depots near the governorate's capital, while Al Bayda saw operations in mountainous terrain believed to contain critical supplies. Al Hudaydah, a strategic port city, experienced disruptions to supply chains vital to Houthi operations.

The precision of these airstrikes has been emphasized by U.S. officials, who aim to minimize civilian impact while addressing regional threats. This development underscores the ongoing complexities of the Yemen conflict and the international community's efforts to stabilize the region.
