As part of the expanded US strikes on Yemen, and amid increased Houthi attacks on Israel, the Americans will reportedly hit more missile-related targets.

The latest round of strikes occurred as the United States and its ally Israel struggle to halt a campaign of regional assaults by Yemen’s Houthi militants.

Yemen's Houthi spokesperson Mohammed Abdulsalam said that the country would continue to defend itself after several U.S. strikes targeted facilities in the capital Sanaa on Tuesday. The U.S. military said that it carried out strikes against Houthi targets in Sanaa and coastal locations in Yemen on Monday and Tuesday.

"On Dec. 30 and 31, U.S. Navy ships and aircraft targeted a Houthi command and control facility and advanced conventional weapon (ACW) production and storage facilities that included missiles and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV)," the U.S. military's Central Command said in a post on X.

The targets struck by U.S. forces had been used to attack American warships and commercial vessels, officials said.

The U.S. military said it conducted airstrikes in Yemen on Monday and Tuesday, targeting Houthi operations that have been used for attacks on U.S. Navy warships and merchant vessels in the region.
