The US military launched new strikes on Houthi positions in Yemen on Friday, targeting missile launchers prepared to launch attacks on ships in the Red Sea.

National Security Council spokesman at the White House, John Kirby, said - as reported by the U.S. Al-Hurra channel, today - "This morning, American forces carried out three successful self-defense strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen."

According to the American channel, “Last Friday, the United States and Britain launched a series of strikes on military sites belonging to the Houthis in Yemen, before the American army targeted them the next day and this week again.”

The channel added, "This comes in response to dozens of attacks carried out by the Houthis in the past weeks on commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, which they say are linked to or headed to Israel, in support of the Gaza Strip, where a war has been raging between the Palestinian factions and Israel, since October 7."
