The United States carried out a second round of strikes against Iran-backed Houthi rebel targets in Yemen early on Jan. 13, just a day after launching coordinated air strikes with international allies on 28 Houthi positions.

The fresh strikes come after the Houthi rebels fired at least one anti-ship ballistic missile into crucial international shipping lanes in the Red Sea on Jan. 12, according to a senior military official.
