US and UK launch new strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen

The articles report on military strikes carried out by the United States and Britain against Houthi targets in Yemen. These strikes, which occurred on February 24, 2023, were the fourth such joint operation since January 12. The attacks targeted 18 sites across eight locations in Yemen, including air defense systems, radars, and a helicopter. The Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have been responsible for a surge in attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, disrupting global supply chains and causing rising costs for shipping companies. The articles note that previous strikes aimed at degrading the Houthis' capacity have not stopped the attacks. American and British forces had also intercepted three one-way attack drones near commercial ships in the Red Sea on February 23.
