The US launched a series of missile strikes against targets in Yemen’s Red Sea province of Hodeidah on Monday as the US bombing campaign against the Houthis continues.

US Central Command said it conducted six strikes and claimed it destroyed “an unmanned underwater vessel and 18 anti-ship missiles in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.”

The Houthis’ Al-Masirah TV reported that 14 US-British airstrikes were launched against targets in Hodeidah, but the British Defense Ministry said it wasn’t involved. The US and Britain have conducted several rounds of joint missile strikes against Yemen, but most bombings have been launched by the US unilaterally.
