Yemen's Houthi spokesperson, Mohammed Abdulsalam, said the country would continue to defend itself after several U.S. strikes targeted facilities in the capital Sanaa on Tuesday.

On Dec. 30 and 31, U.S. Navy ships and aircraft targeted a Houthi command and control facility and advanced conventional weapon (ACW) production and storage facilities that included missiles and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV). (U.S. Central Command Public Affairs)

The Houthis have been attacking ships in the Red Sea for more than a year in what they have described as a campaign in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
