The US military has confirmed that it carried out a missile attack on a Houthi radar site in Yemen at 03:45am local time [00:45 GMT] on Saturday morning.
US Central Command [CENTCOM], which is responsible for US forces in the Middle East, said Tomahawk missiles were fired from the US Navy’s US Carney at the radar site.
In a post on social media, CENTCOM described the attack as a “follow-on action” from the joint US-UK missile barrages late on Thursday night, which the US said had targeted Houthi military sites across Yemen.
Houthi officials are reporting that several people were killed on the first night of attacks. It is unknown, as yet, if there were casualties from the attack earlier tonight. Aljazeera
