But the U.S. has also been carrying out almost daily strikes to take out Houthi targets, including incoming missiles and drones aimed at ships, as well as weapons that were prepared to launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. F\/A-18 fighter jets launched from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier, which is currently in the Red Sea, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe United States will not hesitate to take action, as needed, to defend lives and the free flow of commerce in one of the world\u2019s most critical waterways,\u201d said U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. \u201cWe will continue to make clear to the Houthis that they will bear the consequences if they do not stop their illegal attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Houthis denounced the \u201cUS-British aggression\u201d and vowed to keep up its military operation in response. \u201cThe Yemeni Armed Forces affirm that they will confront the US-British escalation with more qualitative military operations against all hostile targets in the Red and Arabian Seas in defense of our country, our people and our nation,\u201d it said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S., U.K., and other allies said in a statement the \u201cnecessary and proportionate strikes specifically targeted 18 Houthi targets across 8 locations in Yemen\u201d that also included underground storage facilities, radar and a helicopter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.K. Defense Secretary Grant Shapps said RAF Typhoon jets engaged in \u201cprecision strikes\u201d aimed at degrading Houthi drones and launchers. Shapps said it came after \u201csevere Houthi attacks against commercial ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, including against the British-owned MV Islander and the MV Rubymar, which forced the crew to abandon ship.\u201d It\u2019s the fourth time Britain has joined in the U.S.-led strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strikes have support from the wider coalition, which includes Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Joe Biden and other senior leaders have repeatedly warned that the U.S. won\u2019t tolerate the Houthi attacks against commercial shipping. But the counterattacks&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/yemen-houthi-red-sea-israel-hamas-6ac2a1bf5032ed0531258816907cfe2c\">haven\u2019t appeared to diminish<\/a>&nbsp;the Houthis\u2019 campaign against shipping in the region, which the militants say is over&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/israel-hamas-war\">Israel\u2019s war against Hamas<\/a>&nbsp;in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur aim remains to de-escalate tensions and restore stability in the Red Sea, but we will once again reiterate our warning to Houthi leadership: we will not hesitate to continue to defend lives and the free flow of commerce in the face of continued threats,\u201d said the Saturday statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Houthis have launched at least 57 attacks on commercial and military ships in the the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since Nov. 19, and the pace has picked up in recent days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve certainly seen in the past 48, 72 hours an increase in attacks from the Houthis,\u201d Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said in a briefing Thursday. And she acknowledged that the Houthis have not been deterred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe never said we\u2019ve wiped off the map all of their capabilities,\u201d she told reporters. \u201cWe know that the Houthis maintain a large arsenal. They are very capable. They have sophisticated weapons, and that\u2019s because they continue to get them from Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have been at least 32 U.S. strikes in Yemen over the past month and a half; a few were conducted with allied involvement. In addition, U.S. warships have taken out dozens of incoming missiles, rockets and drones targeting commercial and other Navy vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier Saturday, the destroyer USS Mason downed an anti-ship ballistic missile launched from Houthi-held areas in Yemen toward the Gulf of Aden, U.S. Central Command said, adding that the missile was likely targeting MV Torm Thor, a U.S.-flagged, owned, and operated chemical and oil tanker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. attacks on the Houthis have targeted more than 120 launchers, more than 10 surface-to-air-missiles, 40 storage and support building, 15 drone storage building, more than 20 unmanned air, surface and underwater vehicles, several underground storage areas and a few other facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rebels\u2019 supreme leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, announced this past week an \u201cescalation in sea operations\u201d conducted by his forces as part of what they describe as a pressure campaign to end Israel\u2019s war on Hamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But while the group says the attacks are aimed at stopping that war, the Houthis\u2019 targets have grown more random, endangering a vital waterway for cargo and energy shipments traveling from Asia and the Middle East onward to Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During normal operations, about 400 commercial vessels transit the southern Red Sea at any given time. While the Houthi attacks have only actually struck a small number of vessels, the persistent targeting and near misses that have been shot down by the U.S. and allies have prompted shipping companies to reroute their vessels from the Red Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, they have sent them around Africa through the Cape of Good Hope \u2014 a much longer, costlier and less efficient passage. The threats also have led the U.S. and its allies to set up a joint mission where warships from participating nations provide a protective umbrella of air defense for ships as they travel between the Suez Canal and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Thursday\u2019s attack in the Gulf of Aden, the Houthis fired two missiles at a Palau-flagged cargo ship named Islander, according to Central Command said. A European naval force in the region said the attack sparked a fire and wounded a sailor on board the vessel, though the ship continued on its way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Central Command launched attacks on Houthi-held areas in Yemen on Friday, destroying seven mobile anti-ship cruise missiles that the military said were prepared to launch toward the Red Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Central Command also said Saturday that a Houthi attack on a Belize-flagged ship on Feb. 18 caused an 18-mile (29-kilometer) oil slick and the. military warned of the danger of a spill from the vessel\u2019s cargo of fertilizer. The Rubymar, a British-registered, Lebanese-operated cargo vessel,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/yemen-houthi-rebels-attack-israel-hamas-war-gaza-67cf1acc17f4e17d04075a99688e4da8\">was attacked<\/a>&nbsp;while sailing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait that connects the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The missile attack forced the crew to abandon the vessel, which had been on its way to Bulgaria after leaving Khorfakkan in the United Arab Emirates. It was transporting more than 41,000 tons of fertilizer, according to a Central Command statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Associated Press, relying on satellite images from Planet Labs PBC of the stricken vessel, reported Tuesday that the vessel was leaking oil in the Red Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yemen\u2019s internationally recognized government on Saturday called for other countries and maritime-protection organizations to quickly address the oil slick and avert \u201ca significant environmental disaster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American and British fighter jets hit sites in eight locations, targeting missiles, launchers, rockets, drones and air defense systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":109744,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":8,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[100,8,12,25,70],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1334,3293],"class_list":["post-82355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-flashpoints","category-news","category-newsletters","category-your-army"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"VBIGRF7PEFBRFKRR3YLECFUO5Y","arc_canonical_url":"\/flashpoints\/israel-palestine\/2024\/02\/24\/us-uk-strikes-on-houthi-sites-in-yemen-answer-red-sea-attacks\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>US, UK strikes on Houthi sites in Yemen answer Red Sea attacks - Army Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"American and British fighter jets hit sites in eight locations, targeting missiles, launchers, rockets, drones and air defense systems.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"US, UK strikes on Houthi sites in Yemen answer Red Sea attacks\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"American and British fighter jets hit sites in eight locations, targeting missiles, launchers, rockets, drones and air defense systems.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/flashpoints\/2024\/02\/24\/us-uk-strikes-on-houthi-sites-in-yemen-answer-red-sea-attacks\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Army Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-02-24T23:41:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T16:03:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lolita C.
