U.S. Defense officials said U.S. and U.K. ships and warplanes carried out multiple strikes on Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen on Monday.
Multiple locations in Yemen experienced large explosions which were the result of the airstrikes.
A U.S. official tells Fox News one of the Houthi targets struck by U.S. and British munitions included Al Dailami Air Base along with missile launching sites and weapons storage facilities for ballistic missiles and drones.
This is the second joint U.S.-U.K. strikes from air and sea since Jan 11.
