The US has carried out a fourth round of strikes on Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen, Pentagon officials confirmed on Wednesday night.
Some 14 Houthi missiles, which the US says may have been intended for attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, were targeted by American forces.
The strikes come as the US designated the Houthis as “global terrorists”.
The Houthis began attacking merchant vessels in November, saying they were responding to Israel’s military operation in Gaza.
