"US Navy Conducts Ongoing Strikes Against Houthis in Yemen"

The U.S. Navy conducted a new round of missile strikes against Houthi militants in Yemen, targeting about a dozen sites in response to repeated attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea. The strikes were carried out in self-defense as the militants posed an imminent threat to merchant vessels and U.S. Navy ships. The U.S. military has been escalating its campaign against the Houthis, with the latest barrage being the largest since President Biden approved dozens of strikes last week. The militants have continued their attacks on commercial vessels, connecting their actions to the war on Gaza. U.S. officials remain concerned about the potential for a wider regional conflict and are working with allies to prevent further escalation.
