Your comment made me to google whether he was still hospitalized when ordering strikes. And it seems he was!

He remained at Walter Reed Thursday evening, as the US and UK carried out airstrikes against more than a dozen targets in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. Austin ordered and monitored the strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen from the hospital “with a full suite of secure communications,” a senior defense official said Thursday.
