"US Launches 5 Airstrikes to Destroy Houthi Underwater Threats in Yemen"

The US launched five "self-defense" airstrikes against Houthi rebel positions in Yemen, targeting anti-ship missile batteries, an unmanned underwater vessel, and an unmanned surface vessel, in response to the Houthi's harassment of trade through the critical passage. The strikes come after the US Coast Guard intercepted a ship in the Arabian Sea carrying advanced conventional weapons and lethal aid originating in Iran and bound for Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.
