The United States and its allies have conducted additional strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, following a coordinated multi-nation attack on nearly 30 Houthi sites. The purpose of these strikes is to counter the Houthi rebel group, which is backed by Iran, and prevent them from interrupting international shipping in the Red Sea.
The initial round of strikes involved the US and the UK, along with other partners, and were aimed at countering the Houthi anti-shipping campaign. These attacks targeted the Houthis' ability to carry out their activities. Approximately 100 precision weapons were used to hit 60 targets across 16 locations.
