"US Launches Additional Strikes on Houthis in Yemen Amid Escalating Tensions"

The US carried out additional strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, following a coordinated multi-nation attack on nearly 30 Houthi locations. The latest strike targeted a radar facility and was a "follow-on action" to the previous night's operations. The US had threatened further military action if the Houthis continued to carry out drone and missile attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea. The strikes were aimed at disrupting the Houthi's ability to target international shipping lanes. The Iran-backed rebel group launched another anti-ship ballistic missile after the US-led strikes, and the White House stated it was trying to prevent further escalation.
