U.S. & U.K. conduct more retaliatory strikes in Yemen, officials say

The U.S. and U.K. military are conducting more retaliatory strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen this afternoon, according to three U.S. officials.

Houthi military capabilities including weapons and bunkers were targeted.

Today’s strikes against more than one dozen targets are retaliation for the ongoing attacks by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, who continue to target and threaten ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

President Joe Biden ordered the strikes. He was briefed on targets Friday.
