US launches new missile strike on Houthi target in Yemen | BBC News

The US has carried out a new attack against the Houthis in Yemen, a day after wider attacks led by the US and the UK.

US military officials said they had "targeted a radar site" in "follow-up" actions to Thursday's strikes.

However, Yemeni media reported that an area near an air base in Sanaa, Yemen's capital, was hit.

The US said the attacks this week were "designed to degrade the Houthis' ability to attack maritime vessels" in the Red Sea.
