WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The Ansar Allah movement, which governs northern Yemen and controls much of Yemen's Red Sea coast, declared its support for Palestine in late 2023 and vowed to attack any ships linked to Israel after the Jewish state launched a military offensive in the Gaza Strip in response to Hamas' October 2023 attack.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed an airstrike on a military facility of the Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement, which rules northern Yemen.
Earlier, a source told Sputnik that US fighter jets had carried out an airstrike on the Houthi defense ministry building in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa.

"On Dec. 16, Yemen time, US Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted a precision airstrike against a key command and control facility operated by Iran-backed Houthis within Houthi-controlled territory in Sana’a, Yemen," the CENTCOM said in a statement.
