The United States and the United Kingdom carried out strikes against at least a dozen Houthi targets in Yemen, according to two US officials, marking the fourth time the international coalition has launched a combined attack on the Iran-backed rebel group.

The strikes hit 18 targets across 8 different locations, according to a statement from the coalition, including underground weapons storage facilities, missile storage facilities, one-way attack unmanned aerial systems, air defense systems, radars, and a helicopter. This latest round of strikes comes after the Pentagon acknowledged that the Houthis have recently carried out more attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden – some of the world’s most critical waterways.

This story has been updated to correct the number of strikes carried out against Houthi targets in Yemen.
