WASHINGTON – The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) reported conducting its 13th night strike targeting Houthi sites. These actions are part of ongoing efforts to address threats to civilian mariners and commercial vessels in regional waters.

CENTCOM officials stated the strikes intend to diminish the Houthis' capacity to threaten shipping. The military operation comes as international shipping through critical waterways has faced disruptions.

The Strait of Hormuz, a key passage for global maritime trade, has been a focal point in these ongoing regional tensions. Authorities have expressed concerns about the flow of international shipping in the area.

The recent military actions represent a continuation of responses to incidents involving commercial ships. The United States has maintained a presence in the region and conducted multiple operations in recent weeks.
