"US Escalates Strikes Against Houthis in Yemen"

US forces conducted a new round of strikes on Yemen's Houthis, targeting missiles being readied for attacks on commercial ships, marking at least the third military action in a week. The strikes come amid nearly 30 Houthi attacks on merchant ships since November, linked to the war in Gaza and Western support for Israel. Despite previous strikes, the militants launched another anti-ship missile, highlighting their intent and capability to continue attacks. US forces are working to interdict the supply of weapons from Iran to Yemen, with a recent operation resulting in the loss of two Navy SEALs.
