US strikes more Houthi targets in Yemen, military says

The US military carried out further strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen on Thursday, US Central Command said in a statement.

The strikes hit four unmanned surface vessels and seven mobile anti-ship cruise missiles that “presented an imminent threat to U.S. Navy ships and merchant vessels in the region,” CENTCOM said on social media platform X.

Coalition strikes against the Iran-backed Houthis have destroyed or degraded more than 100 missiles and launchers since January 11, a Pentagon spokesperson said at a briefing earlier Thursday.

The Houthis have said they will not stop their attacks on Red Sea shipping until Israel ends its war in Gaza.
