U.S. Central Command said Saturday's singular strike in Yemen hit a Houthi-controlled radar site. The retaliatory strike was the second in two days amid a push back on the rebel group.
It added: "This strike was conducted by the USS Carney (DDG 64) using Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles and was a follow-on action on a specific military target associated with strikes taken on Jan. 12 designed to degrade the Houthi’s ability to attack maritime vessels, including commercial vessels."
The strike followed "multilateral coalition strikes" by the U.S. military forces — together with the United Kingdom and with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands — which hit 28 locations and struck more than 60 targets on Friday, Jan. 12.
