US launches more strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen

The US has carried out two more strikes in Yemen early on Wednesday, destroying two Houthi anti-ship missiles that were aimed at the Red Sea and were preparing to launch, the US military has said.

The strikes, which took place at roughly 2:30am (2330 GMT), are the latest against the Iran-backed group over its targeting of Red Sea shipping.

The Houthis, who control the most populous parts of Yemen, have said their attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians as Israel strikes Gaza.

The attacks have disrupted global shipping and deepened concern that fallout from the Israel-Hamas war could destabilize the Middle East.
