WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.
Associated Press journalists in Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, heard one loud explosion.
The first day of strikes Friday hit 28 locations and struck more than 60 targets. However, the U.S. determined the additional location, a radar site, still presented a threat to maritime traffic, one official said.
The officials spoke anonymously to the AP to discuss an operation that hadn’t yet been publicly announced.
President Joe Biden had warned Friday that the Houthis could face further strikes.
