A U.S. military warplane made an airstrike on the defense ministry building in the Houthi rebel-held Yemeni capital of Sanaa late Monday night, the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported Tuesday.
The Houthi television said the "U.S. aggression" took place overnight, noting that the group vowed to retaliate by targeting "U.S. interests and shipping in the Red Sea."
Local residents reported seeing several ambulances entering the facility late Monday night as Houthi fighters cordoned off the area in downtown Sanaa until dawn on Tuesday.
The U.S. Central Command confirmed in a statement that it conducted a "precision airstrike against a key command and control facility operated by Iran-backed Houthis within Houthi-controlled territory in Sanaa, Yemen."
