The US military has launched strikes on the impoverished Yemen’s radar sites, citing retaliation for failed attacks on American warships, the Pentagon says.

The Pentagon claimed early on Thursday that three radar sites had apparently been destroyed; Press TV reported.

It further branded the move as "limited self-defense strikes," meant to protect American personnel, ships and freedom of navigation.
