US military targets Houthi radar sites in Yemen after a merchant sailor goes missing

The United States military has unleashed a wave of attacks targeting radar sites operated by Yemen’s Houthi rebels over their assaults on shipping in the crucial Red Sea corridor. The U.S. military's Central Command also said Saturday that one merchant sailor remains missing following an earlier Houthi strike on a ship. It said U.S. strikes destroyed seven radars within Houthi-controlled territory. The U.S. separately destroyed two bomb-laden drone boats in the Red Sea, as well as a drone launched by the Houthis over the waterway. The Houthis, who have held Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, since 2014, did not acknowledge the strikes nor the losses. That’s been typical since the U.S. began its airstrikes targeting the rebels.
