美国中央司令部（CENTCOM）对位于也门萨那的胡塞武装指挥控制中心发动了精确空袭。

该设施位于伊朗支持的胡塞民兵控制的地区，负责在亚丁湾和红海南部对美国海军军舰和商船进行袭击。

这个由胡塞武装控制的设施一直是协调对全球贸易至关重要的重要航线的威胁的关键枢纽。

根据中央司令部的说法，这次袭击的目的是破坏胡塞武装的行动，这些行动越来越多地针对该地区的船只。



几天前，美国海军的斯托克代尔号和奥凯恩号于12月9日和10日在亚丁湾护送悬挂美国国旗的商船时，拦截了一系列胡塞武装发射的无人机和一枚反舰导弹。袭击中没有人员伤亡或财产损失的报告。

这两艘驱逐舰最近都做了值得称赞的工作，挫败了胡塞武装对美国海军舰艇和其他商船发动的几次袭击。

在2024年11月30日至12月1日期间，两艘驱逐舰拦截了另一组导弹袭击，以拯救三艘商船。

过去一年，胡塞武装利用无人机和导弹，加强了对曼德海峡（Bal al-Mandeb Strait）、亚丁湾（Gulf of Aden）和红海的商船和军舰的袭击。

为了应对日益增长的威胁，中央司令部还对胡塞武装的武器储存地点进行了空袭，包括10月的一次重大行动，美国B-2“幽灵”轰炸机摧毁了装满先进导弹的地下掩体。

除了空袭，中央司令部还证实了哈里·S·杜鲁门航母战斗群（CSG）已抵达该地区。包括葛底斯堡号、哈里·S·杜鲁门号和两艘阿利·伯克级驱逐舰斯托特号和杰森·邓纳姆号在内的打击小组，将开展广泛的行动，包括保卫该地区的美国和盟军。

在“杜鲁门”号航母战斗群到来之前，美国“艾森豪威尔”号航母战斗群进行了为期9个月的部署，以应对胡塞武装日益增长的威胁。

在此期间，艾森豪威尔集团发射了数百枚导弹，并进行了多次空中行动，以对抗胡塞的侵略。

最近几周，胡塞武装还将部分重点转向以色列，向以色列目标发射导弹和无人机。此外，他们还声称对在海法发射高超音速导弹和袭击本古里安机场负责。

英文原文

The U.S. Central Command commonly known as the CENTCOM launched a precision airstrike on a Houthi command and control center in Sana’a, Yemen.



The facility, located in a region controlled by the Iran-backed Houthi militia, was responsible for carrying attacks on U.S. Navy warships and merchant vessels in the Gulf of Aden and Southern Red Sea.



The Houthi-controlled facility had been a key hub for coordinating threats against vital shipping routes that are crucial for global trade.



According to CENTCOM, the strike was aimed at disrupting Houthi operations that have increasingly targeted vessels in the region.



A few days earlier, the USS Stockdale and USS O’Kane of the U.S. Navy, intercepted a series of Houthi-launched drones and an anti-ship missile while escorting U.S. flagged commercial ships in the Gulf of Aden on December 9 and 10.  There were no injuries or damage reported from the attack.



Both these destroyers have done commendable work recently thwarting several Houthi-launched attacks on U.S. Navy ships and other commercial vessels.



A similar incident reported both the destroyers intercepting another set of missile attacks to save three merchant vessels from November 30 to December 1, 2024.



The Houthis have intensified their attacks on both commercial and military ships over the past year, using drones and missiles across the Bal al-Mandeb Strait, the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea.



In response to the increasing threats, CENTCOM has also carried out airstrikes targeting Houthi weapons storage sites, including a major operation in October where U.S. B-2 Spirit bombers destroyed underground bunkers filled with advanced missiles.



Along with the airstrike, CENTCOM also confirmed the arrival of the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (CSG) in the region.  The strike group, including the USS Gettysburg, USS Harry S. Truman, and two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, USS Stout and USS Jason Dunham, is positioned to conduct a wide range of operations, including the defence of U.S. and allied forces in the region.



The arrival of the Truman CSG follows a nine-month deployment by the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group, which responded to the growing threat posed by the Houthis.



During that time, the Eisenhower group launched hundreds of missiles and conducted numerous air operations to counter the Houthi aggression.



The Houthis have also shifted some of their focus toward Israel in recent weeks, launching missiles and drones at Israeli targets.  Additionally, they also claimed responsibility for firing a hypersonic missile at Haifa and attacking Ben Gurion Airport.
