U.S., U.K. Launch New Strikes On Multiple Huthi Sites In Yemen

A Royal Air Force Typhoon FGR4 takes off to carry out air strikes against Huthi military targets in Yemen from a base in Cyprus on January 22.

The U.S. and British militaries bombed multiple targets in eight locations used by the Iranian-backed Huthis in Yemen on the night of January 22, the second time the two allies have conducted coordinated retaliatory strikes on an array of the rebels' missile-launching capabilities. Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands contributed to the mission, including with intelligence and surveillance. In a joint statement, the six allies said the strikes specifically targeted a Huthi underground storage site and locations associated with the Huthis' missile and air-surveillance capabilities.
