The reported action comes one day after the Western coalition attacked the Houthis
Washington conducted more strikes in Yemen on Friday night, targeting a Houthi-operated radar facility, CNN reported, citing a US official.
Yemeni TV station Al-Masirah said that the strikes were targeting the country’s capital Sanaa.
The US and Britain previously carried out “defensive” airstrikes and launched cruise missiles at Yemen with the aim of punishing the Houthis – a Shia Islamist group that controls part of the country, including iSanaa and the key port city of Hodeidah – for disrupting the shipping in the vital Red Sea waterway.
The Houthis have pledged solidarity with the Palestinians and vowed not to stop attacking merchant vessels until Israel ends its ongoing war with Hamas, which erupted on October 7. More than 50 countries have since been affected in 27 Houthi attacks on ships, according to the White House.
