The US military has fired another wave of ship and submarine-launch missile strikes against Houthi-controlled sites, multiple US officials said.

It marks the fourth time in days it has directly targeted the group in Yemen as violence that ignited in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war continues to spill over in the Middle East.
