"US Conducts Multiple Airstrikes on Houthi Targets in Red Sea"
TL;DR
The US conducted five self-defense strikes in Yemen targeting Houthi-controlled areas, hitting three mobile anti-ship cruise missiles, an unmanned underwater vessel, and an unmanned surface vessel. The strikes aimed to protect US Navy ships and merchant vessels in the region. Houthi attacks in the Red Sea have disrupted global shipping, leading to increased fuel costs and prompting the US and Britain to send warships to protect the shipping lanes. The EU is set to launch a naval mission to safeguard international shipping in the Red Sea against Houthi attacks.
