The US military said Wednesday its forces hit weapons storage facilities used by Houthis to attack American warships and commercial vessels.
The operation involved "multiple precision strikes", US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement, adding "there were no injuries or damage to US personnel or equipment".
The statement did not specify the location of the storage facilities.
"The strikes are part of CENTCOM's effort to degrade Iranian-backed (Houthi) attempts to threaten regional partners and military and merchant vessels in the region," it said.
The Houthis' Al-Masirah TV said there were five raids in the northwestern Amran province and two in Sanaa province, where the capital Sanaa is located.
The Houthis seized Sanaa in 2014 from Yemen's internationally recognised government and control much of the war-torn country's most populated areas.
