This situation has stirred controversy, particularly with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other top officials discussing sensitive strike details in a group chat, potentially jeopardizing U.S. military personnel. Hegseth insisted that these were not war plans but has faced criticism, especially after The Atlantic's editor noted he had unknowingly been part of the chat, creating a security concern. Central Command confirmed that the strikes aimed to dismantle critical Houthi facilities, including air defense systems and weapons storage locations.

U.S. Military Silent on Yemen Airstrikes Details
The Pentagon is being tight-lipped about its ongoing strikes in Yemen against the Houthi militia since March 15.
Since mid-March, the U.S. military has been carrying out daily airstrikes targeting Houthi militia positions in Yemen but has remained vague about the specifics of these operations. After an initial announcement that more than 30 Houthi targets were hit on the first day, further insights have been scarce. Although the military posts images of its jets in action, they have not confirmed the total number of targets targeted or the commanders allegedly killed.
