The United States conducted additional strikes early on Thursday against a couple of Houthi anti-ship missiles that were being prepared to fire into the Red Sea, White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
Washington re-designated the Iran-backed Houthis as a “terrorist” entity for their attacks on merchant vessels on Wednesday.
The Houthis -- who have already faced multiple rounds of airstrikes in response to their targeting of international shipping -- vowed to continue attacks they say are in support of Palestinians in Gaza.
