SANA'A, YEMEN - DECEMBER 03: Members of the Houthi-run Military Special Forces guard during a funeral procession of Houthi fighters at Al-Sha'ab Mosque on December 03, 2023 in Sana'a, Yemen.
The strikes come after the Houthis defied a warning to stop targeting international maritime vessels in the Red Sea, which has wreaked havoc on global trade.
This includes the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a crucial maritime chokepoint that connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden.
The militants claim their attacks in the Red Sea are in response to the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
