US launches second night of airstrikes against Houthis

The United States launched another round of airstrikes against the Houthis in Yemen early Saturday morning local time.

The round of strikes comes just one day after an inaugural round of air and missile strikes against targets in Yemen, launched in response to Houthi attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. Two United States officials reportedly announced the Friday strikes, and the U.S. Central Command later confirmed them on X, formerly known as Twitter.
