Washington: Washington reported striking over 1,000 targets in Yemen since mid-March in an air campaign against Houthis, as the UK said on Wednesday it carried out a joint strike on drone-making facilities.
The Houthis began targeting shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden in late 2023 and the United States responded with strikes against them starting early the following year.
In the latest round of its air campaign since March 15, "USCENTCOM strikes have hit over 1,000 targets, killing Houthi fighters and leaders... and degrading their capabilities", Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement on Tuesday, referring to the military command responsible for the Middle East.
On Wednesday Britain said it had joined the United States in carrying out strikes against Houthi targets.
"UK forces participated in a joint operation with US forces against a Houthi military target in Yemen," the defence ministry said in a statement.
