In a continued military response, the United States executed additional airstrikes in Yemen, focusing on Houthi radar systems following a coordinated attack by the UK and the US on nearly 30 Houthi locations. American officials reported that the Friday airstrikes were more limited in scope but aimed at degrading Houthi capabilities. The strikes were conducted by the USS Carney using Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles. In response to Thursday's attacks, the Houthis fired an anti-ship ballistic missile. The US, backed by allies, warned of further action if the Iran-backed rebels persisted in threatening international shipping lanes in the Red Sea.
