“In self-defense”the US army launches strikes against Houthi sites in Yemen

An American official announced that the army launched strikes against Houthi military targets in Yemen “in self-defense.”

On Friday, the US military launched raids against Houthi military targets in Yemen, which it said were considered an “imminent threat.”

Voice of America quoted an unnamed American official as saying, “The army is launching additional self-defense strikes inside Yemen against Houthi military targets that are considered an imminent threat.”
