"Pentagon's Heavy Cost: US Strikes Houthi Rebels in Red Sea"

The ongoing conflict between the US military and the Houthi rebels in Yemen is proving to be costly, with the US spending significant amounts to defend against Houthi attacks on commercial ships and US assets. The Houthis have been successful in disrupting Red Sea traffic, leading to increased shipping costs and potential economic challenges for countries reliant on the Suez Canal. Despite the high cost, the US is committed to safeguarding international trade and continues to target the Houthi group in Yemen, while experts suggest exploring cheaper means of countering Houthi drones and missiles.
