US B-2 stealth bombers struck weapons-storage sites linked to Houthi rebels in Yemen, the latest effort to blunt attacks by the Iran-backed group that have disrupted commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
The strikes hit bunkers containing missiles and other munitions “used to target military and civilian vessels throughout the region,” US Central Command said Thursday. US Air Force and Navy personnel took part in the operation and there’s no indication of civilian casualties, it added.
