The US and UK militaries have bombed multiple sites used by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen, several American officials have said.
It is the second time the two allies have conducted retaliatory strikes on an array of the rebels’ missile-launching capabilities.
They used warship- and submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles and fighter jets to take out Houthi missile storage sites and launchers, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The joint operation comes after US and UK warships and jets hit more than 60 targets in 28 locations on Thursday January 11.
That was the first US military response to what has been a persistent campaign of Houthi drone and missile attacks on commercial ships since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October.
