Additional Saturday strikes hit 36 Houthi targets in 13 locations in Yemen.

Houthi rebels fired a missile, striking a U.S.-owned ship Monday just off the coast of Yemen in the Gulf of Aden, less than a day after they launched an anti-ship cruise missile toward an American destroyer in the Red Sea.

The U.S. military early Saturday struck another Houthi-controlled site in Yemen that it had determined was putting commercial vessels in the Red Sea at risk, two U.S. officials said.

The U.S. Navy on Friday warned American-flagged vessels to steer clear of areas around Yemen in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden for the next 72 hours after the U.S. and Britain launched multiple airstrikes targeting Houthi rebels.

When the U.S. and U.K. warships launched waves of air, ship and submarine launched missiles at Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen Thursday it was the culmination of weeks of warnings to the militant group to cease their destructive attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea.

The military targets included logistical hubs, air defense systems and weapons storage and launching locations, they said.

The U.S. military said Sunday that its forces opened fire on Houthi rebels after they attacked a cargo ship in the Red Sea, killing several of them in an escalation of the maritime conflict linked to the war in Gaza.
