The US strike came the day after the Houthis fired an anti-ship ballistic missile at the US-owned and operated Gibraltar Eagle cargo ship.
The Houthi attacks on Red Sea ships continued even after the U.S. and Britain launched the first wave of strikes last week to reduce their military capabilities.
Addendum
The Houthis, who control the most densely populated parts of Yemen, claim that their attacks on commercial vessels are aimed at supporting the Palestinians in Israel's war in Gaza. Their attacks have disrupted global shipping and fueled fears of global inflation. They have also heightened concerns that the fallout from a war between Israel and Hamas could destabilize the Middle East.
