U.S. Deploys B-2 Bombers to Launch Strikes in Yemen
---------------------------------------------------

The Pentagon announced U.S. B-2 bombers launched so-called precision
strikes against five Houthi targets in Yemen. Defense Secretary Lloyd
Austin said the attacks are in response to Houthis' "destabilizing
behavior." Houthi fighters have attacked vessels in the Red Sea and the
Gulf of Aden since November, and vowed to continue until Israel ends its
assault on Gaza and Lebanon.
