The White House has said that US strikes in Yemen earlier this month killed the Houthi top missile expert, but the US military has so far declined to confirm the death, and the identity of the Houthi commander in question is unclear. The US military declined repeated requests, made over a week, to confirm the killing or to provide the name of the individual killed. The strikes, the biggest US military operation in the Middle East since Trump took office in January, are meant to force the Iran-aligned Houthis to renounce attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, including against US warships.
