The American strikes destroyed four missiles that posed a threat to ships in the Red Sea, the Pentagon said. They came on the third day in a row the Houthis have defiantly fired at passing ships.
Two straight days of attacks have hit military targets in response to rising attacks on Red Sea shipping, which the Houthis linked to the war between Israel and Hamas.
The strikes damaged the group’s ability to carry out complex missile and drone attacks, U.S. officials said, but identifying targets has proved to be a challenge.
The carmakers said they would suspend production at their plants in Germany and Belgium because of supply chain snarls linked to the attacks in the Red Sea.
