Washington: US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed an airstrike on a military facility of the Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement, which rules northern Yemen.
Earlier, a source told Sputnik that US fighter jets had carried out an airstrike on the Houthi defence ministry building in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa.
“On Dec. 16 Yemen time, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted a precision airstrike against a key command and control facility operated by Iran-backed Houthis within Houthi-controlled territory in Sana’a, Yemen,” the CENTCOM said in a statement.
From this military facility, the Houthis allegedly coordinated attacks against US commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, CENTCOM added.
