Centcom chief McKenzie says the US will target Houthi drones before they can launch
Meaning the US is going to actively bomb Yemen, rather than merely selling the bombs to the Saudis & UAE
This would be a huge escalation of US violence directed at Yemen

Update from CentCom media team:
"US CENTCOM is NOT considering attacking targets in Yemen itself.
Gen McKenzie’s comments from the article are finding solutions to counter UAS* threat, which is one of CENTCOM’s top priorities."
*UAS = unmanned aircraft systems, like drones

McKenzie “We are working w/ our partners here in the region & with the industry back in the US to develop solutions that would work against drones
We would like to work against drones what we call ‘Left of Launch’ [which means] before they can be launched”

While The National clearly exaggerated his meaning, McKenzie does say that "we would like to work against drones.. before they can be launched"
This requires targeting the drones sites
Which in this case are in Yemen
Which would drastically escalate US involvement in the war
