US B-2 Bombers Strike Houthi Underground Facilities in Yemen

The US military's recent airstrikes on Yemeni Houthi targets signal a strategic warning to Iran and demonstrate the capability of the B-2 stealth bomber.

The US military deployed B-2 stealth bombers to conduct precision strikes on five underground Houthi weapons storage sites in Yemen.
The operation marks the first known use of the B-2 in combat in years, highlighting its ability to target deeply buried and fortified facilities.
The strikes are part of the US response to Houthi attacks on shipping lanes in the Red Sea, which have been ongoing since the Israel-Hamas conflict began.
Australia supported the mission by providing access and overflight for US aircraft from a Northern Territory air base, reflecting close military cooperation.
The US Defense Secretary emphasized the strikes as a demonstration of American global strike capabilities and a message to Iran, the Houthis' main supporter.
