U.S. Defense officials said U.S. and U.K. ships and warplanes carried out multiple strikes on Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen on Monday.<\/p>\n

Multiple locations in Yemen experienced large explosions which were the result of the airstrikes.<\/p>\n

A U.S. official tells Fox News one of the Houthi targets struck by U.S. and British munitions included Al Dailami Air Base along with missile launching sites and weapons storage facilities for ballistic missiles and drones.<\/p>\n

This is the second joint U.S.-U.K. strikes from air and sea since Jan 11.<\/p>\n

The strikes consisted of Tomahawk missiles fired from U.S. warships, as well as F-18 fighter jets from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier.<\/p>\n

\u2018Today, the militaries of the United States and United Kingdom, at the direction of their respective governments with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands, conducted an additional round of proportionate and necessary strikes against 8 Houthi targets in Yemen in response to the Houthis\u2019 continued attacks against international and commercial shipping as well as naval vessels transiting the Red Sea,\u2019 a joint statement from the U.S., U.K. and other countries stated.<\/p>\n

The statement referred to a series of illegal, dangerous and destabilizing Houthi actions, including anti-ship ballistic missile and unmanned aerial system attacks that struck two U.S.-owned merchant vessels earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The \u2018precision strikes\u2019 on Monday were intended to \u2018disrupt and degrade\u2019 Houthi efforts to threaten global trade and the lives of mariners.<\/p>\n

\u2018Today\u2019s strike specifically targeted a Houthi underground storage site and locations associated with the Houthis\u2019 missile and air surveillance capabilities,\u2019 the statement read. \u2018The Houthis\u2019 now more than thirty attacks on international and commercial vessels since mid-November constitute an international challenge.<\/p>\n

\u2018Our aim remains to de-escalate tensions and restore stability in the Red Sea, but let us reiterate our warning to Houthi leadership: we will not hesitate to defend lives and the free flow of commerce in one of the world\u2019s most critical waterways in the face of continued threats,\u2019 the joint statement continued.<\/p>\n

There have been at least 151 attacks on U.S. forces in the region since Oct. 17.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
