US launches more strikes against Houthis in Yemen

The US carried out further strikes against the Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen early on Sunday, the US military said.

Centcom said the US struck a land-attack cruise missile and four anti-ship missiles that "were prepared to launch against ships in the Red Sea".

The additional strikes came a day after joint US-UK strikes on Houthi targets.

The US has also warned that it intends to take further action against Iran-backed groups in Iraq and Syria.

On Friday, the US said it struck targets linked to Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and affiliated militias in Iraq and Syria, responding to the deaths of three US soldiers in a drone attack on a military base in Jordan on 28 January.
