The US Central Command has claimed to have conducted “precision strikes” targeting the Houthi militia’s underground weapons caches in Yemen, Al Jazeera reports.

The Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah channel says there were five raids in the Harf Sufyan district of the northwestern Amran province and two in the Sanhan district of the Sanaa province.

It did not elaborate on the results of the attacks.

Also today, a protest rally was staged by university students in Sanaa to denounce strikes on Yemen and Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.
