US continues barrage of missile strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen

• The US military has continued its barrage of missile strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen.
• The strikes are a response to ongoing Houthi attacks on shipping vessels traversing the Red Sea.
• A military expert told BI a single series of strikes likely won't deter the Houthis.

The US military early Saturday continued its barrage of air strikes on Houthi-controlled sites in Yemen in response to attacks by the rebel group on commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea, two US officials said.

Associated Press journalists in Sanaa, Yemen's capital, heard one loud explosion.
