The Pentagon says the US has carried out what it called "precision strikes" against five weapons storage locations in parts of Yemen controlled by the Houthi movement.

Axar.az reports that ,citing BBC, US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin said US forces - including long-range bombers - targeted underground facilities housing weapons components used to attack civilian and military ships in the region.
He said the strikes against the Iran-backed Houthis demonstrated the ability of the US to target facilities that its adversaries sought "to keep out of reach".
Since last November, the Houthis have launched attacks on around 100 ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, sinking two vessels.
