"Houthis' Red Sea Attacks Prompt US Strikes and Diplomatic Spat"
TL;DR
The US military has shifted tactics in response to Houthi attacks on commercial shipping, conducting preemptive strikes against the rebels' anti-ship missiles. This change has resulted in the destruction or degradation of numerous Houthi missile launch and deployment facilities, as well as other capabilities. Despite these efforts, the Houthi rebels continue to attempt launching attacks, prompting ongoing joint strikes by American and British forces. The goal of the US military is to ensure the safety and security of international shipping and mariners in the Red Sea.
