The U.S. Navy launched a series of missile strikes on Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen on New Year\u2019s Eve, targeting their command centres, weapon production sites, and storage facilities.<\/p>\n

The operation was carried out by guided-missile destroyers from the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group in the Red Sea.<\/p>\n

The strikes also targeted the Houthi coastal radar site and intercepted seven cruise missiles along with suicide drones over the Red Sea. The operation took place between December 30-31 and included support from U.S. Air Force aircraft.<\/p>\n

Footage released by the U.S. Navy shows the launch of Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAMs) by destroyers from the carrier strike group.<\/p>\n

While the specific destroyers were not named, the group includes USS Stout, USS Jason Dunham, and the cruiser USS Gettysburg, which are likely to have participated in the mission.<\/p>\n
