The strikes aimed to eliminate the fuel from the hutis, a key source of income for the group.
The strikes, which sent massive fireballs to the night sky, represented a great climb for the US campaign when they arrived at the oil facilities for the first time.
Centcom said that “US forces took measures to eliminate this fuel source for huti terrorists backed by Iran and deprive them of illegal income that have financed Houthi’s efforts to terrorize the entire region for about 10 years.”
“The hutis, their Iranian teachers and those who knowingly help and abet their terrorist actions must be taken into account that the world will not accept the illicit smuggling of fuel and war material to a terrorist organization,” said the central command.
