In the early morning of October 17, local time, Sana'a, the capital under the control of the Houthis in Yemen, and Sa'da province in northern Yemen, where their base camp is located, were bombed by the US military. Among them, Sana'a was hit by air raids 6 times, and Sa'da province was hit by air raids 9 times. A statement issued later by the US Central Command said that the US military used B-2 stealth bombers for the first time during the air strike that day, with the aim of destroying the Houthis's hard underground arsenal of storing missiles and other weapons, weakening the military strength of the Houthis and their ability to attack passing ships in the surrounding waters. After the air strike, the Houthis also issued a statement saying that the US would pay for its aggression and that the Houthis would not waver in their support for Palestine and Lebanon.
