Yemeni source: Use of US stealth bombers shows 'panic', no weapons depots hit

American air strikes in Yemen overnight did not hit weapons depots belonging to the Houthi movement, and did not affect their capabilities as claimed by the Pentagon, a Yemeni military source told the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen TV channel.

The source said the use of B-2 stealth bombers in the attacks indicates "panic" in the US military over the possibility of its drones being shot down in Yemeni airspace, after several MQ-9 drones were shot down by the Houthi movement in recent months.

Any American-British aircraft or weapon used to strike Yemen "cannot neutralise the strategic weapons that the Yemeni army has prepared and continues to prepare and develop," the source said.

He added that attacks on Yemen will not succeed in forcing the Houthi movement to stop its support of Gaza and Lebanon.
