"US Launches New Strikes on Houthis in Red Sea Crisis"

The US has launched a fourth round of missile strikes on Houthi-controlled sites in Yemen from the Red Sea, following a drone attack on a US-owned vessel. The strikes targeted more than a dozen sites and were in response to Houthi missile threats to merchant vessels and US Navy ships. The attacks have disrupted trade and raised humanitarian concerns, prompting the US to reassign the Houthis to its list of "specially designated global terrorists" and impose financial penalties. The Houthis have linked their attacks on commercial shipping to the situation in Gaza and warned of viewing sanctions as a declaration of war. The humanitarian impact of the military escalation in Yemen and the Red Sea is a growing concern for aid organizations.
