US and UK launch joint-strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen

The United States and British forces carried out a second round of strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen on Monday - the latest move against the Iran-aligned group over its targeting of Red Sea shipping.

The attacks were the eighth launched by the U.S., but only the second joint effort. The first joint strikes were on January 11.

U.S. Central Command said the strikes, on eight targets, were 'intended to degrade Houthi capability to continue their reckless and unlawful attacks on U.S. and U.K. ships as well as international commercial shipping in the Red Sea, Bab Al-Mandeb Strait, and the Gulf of Aden.'
