The strikes are part of ongoing US operations against Houthi forces, which Washington says are intended to deter attacks on "commercial shipping" in the Red Sea.

The Houthis have launched repeated missile and drone attacks on vessels since late 2023, citing support for Palestinians in Gaza.

Despite diplomatic efforts to de-escalate, the group has pledged to continue operations until “Israel ends its military campaign in Gaza and the blockade is lifted.”

Earlier, US strikes also targeted positions in Yemen’s northwestern Hodeidah province.
