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

The United Kingdom has conducted further strikes against Yemen’s Houthis, the Ministry of Defense said in a statement on Monday.

British aircraft used precision-guided bombs to strike multiple targets near the Sanaa airfield, the statement added.
