DUBAI, Jan 18, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - US and UK forces launched a fourth round of strikes against targets in Yemen, Huthi media said Thursday, as the Iran-backed rebels vowed to continue attacking Red Sea shipping. Al-Masirah and Huthi news agency Saba.net said US and UK strikes had hit several targets in Yemen, including the port city of Hodeida and the city of Taez, the fourth round of strikes in the past week. US media, including CBS and CNN, quoted US officials as saying another round of strikes had been carried out against an unspecified number of Huthi targets in Yemen. The Huthis said late on Wednesday they had attacked a ship with a drone off Yemen. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) security agency said a drone hit a vessel in the Gulf of Aden.
