The United States has launched additional airstrikes in the Middle East, targeting Iranian-backed militants who have been carrying out attacks on ships in and around the Red Sea. This marks the fourth consecutive night of strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen within a week.
According to two U.S. officials, the latest strikes have been directed towards Houthi targets and are part of the ongoing efforts to address the threat posed by the Iran-backed rebel group. These strikes follow a series of previous attacks conducted by the United States and the United Kingdom on Thursday, focusing on command and control nodes, radar sites, as well as their missiles and drones used for international shipping attacks.
