The Houthi attacks on international vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden prompted the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to confirm the strikes on Thursday.
According to the MoD, intelligence has verified that two structures close to Hudaydah were involved in the anti-shipping assaults. The buildings in question are known to have long-range drone storage and drone ground control facilities.
Additionally, surface-to-air weaponry were thought to be present.
Further south on the Yemeni coast, a collection of Houthi facilities at Ghulayfiqah were also found to be involved in the group’s command and control of the anti-shipping campaign.
The officials said that US ships and fighter aircraft from the United States and Great Britain struck a variety of targets.
Paveway IV guided bombs were dropped by RAF Typhoon FGR4s on the target buildings at the three locations.
According to officials, US F/A-18 fighter jets took off from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier in the Red Sea.
There were other US vessels in the area that took part.
Thirteen Houthi targets in all were hit.
The United Kingdom “will not hesitate” to defend British interests, according to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
The operations carried out last night, according to him, were carried out “to further degrade the military capabilities of the Houthis and to prevent further attacks on international shipping”.
“In response to a persistent threat, the strikes were carried out in self-defense.”
