‘Every day and night’ The US has offered few specifics on the sites it is striking during its campaign, and has not yet confirmed any air raids on Sanaa. A defence official told the AFP news agency: “CENTCOM [US Central Command] is conduct- ing strikes across multiple locations of Iran-backed Houthi locations every day and night in Yemen.” ‘Waltz said the recent US attacks have “taken out key Houthi leadership”, including the head of their missile programme. “We’ve hit their headquarters,” Waltz said. “We’ve hit communications nodes, weapons facto- ries and even some of their over-the-water drone production facilities.” The Houthis have dismissed the US claims that it is targeting military sites in Yemen as a “com- plete lie and slander”. The Houthi government in Yemen said: “The pictures, scenes, evidence, types of victims, and testimonies of survivors from the targeted sites confirm that it is targeting residential neighbour- hoods and innocent civilians, and provide conclusive evidence that the US is deliberately taking the lives of defenceless civilians and destroying the capabilities of our people.” The Houthis also said the latest US attacks will not deter them from supporting Palestinians in Gaza and that the country will also support Lebanon and Hezbollah, if necessary.
