The Pentagon confirms that attacks have been carried out against 36 targets in 13 places in Yemen, the BBC reports. According to the US Department of Defense, buried weapons stores, air defense systems and radars are among the targets that have been hit. According to media associated with the Houthi movement, Yemen’s capital has been hit by several airstrikes, writes the AFP news agency. The Houthi rebels, who control the most populous parts of Yemen, have in recent months carried out several attacks against commercial shipping in the Red Sea. They say they are attacking to show solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza. American-led forces have in recent weeks carried out several attacks against Houthi targets to stop the attacks on the cargo ships, but without success. Friday evening Norwegian time, the US attacked at least 85 targets associated with groups supported by Iran in Syria and Iraq. President Joe Biden has announced revenge after three American soldiers were killed and nearly 40 injured in an attack on a military base in Jordan last weekend.
