Footage shows the USS Gravely and USS Carney missile destroyers and the USS USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier launching strikes at Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen on February 3.

The coalition strikes were aimed at 36 targets including weapons storage facilities, missile systems, radars, and air defense systems across 13 areas in Yemen in response to the Houthi attacks on international vessels transiting the Red Sea.

In a statement, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III said: 'This collective action sends a clear message to the Houthis that they will continue to bear further consequences if they do not end their illegal attacks on international shipping and naval vessels.

'We will not hesitate to defend lives and the free flow of commerce in one of the world's most critical waterways.'
