Two U.S. destroyers and F/A18-E/F Super Hornets flying from USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) joined in a multi-national strike on 13 locations in Yemen, USNI News has learned.
Guided-missile destroyers USS Carney (DDG-64) and USS Gravely (DDG-107) fired an unspecified number of Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles at the Houthi targets in Yemen while the Super Hornets used Joint Direct Attack Munition against the targets, a defense official confirmed to USNI News on Saturday.
The U.S. and U.K. forces struck the targets with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and New Zealand, according to a Pentagon statement.
On Friday, U.S. Air Force bombers hit 85 targets connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Iranian Quds Force.
Central Command forces then struck four Houthi drones that were prepared to launch around 4:40 p.m., according to a Central Command release Saturday.
