THE US military has carried out new air strikes on Yemen, targeting the ruling Houthis’ military over its attack on shipping, officials said today.

Four explosive-loaded drone boats and seven mobile anti-ship cruise missile launchers that could target vessels in the Red Sea were destroyed by the strikes, the US military’s Central Command said.

US Central Command repeated the same narrative it has used after previous attacks, saying that the targets had “presented an imminent threat to US navy ships and merchant vessels in the region.
