US hits more anti-ship missiles in overnight Houthis strike
==========
The US launched a strike against the Yemen-based Houthis, hitting anti-ship missiles in the third assault on the Iranian-backed group. The strike destroyed four Houthi ballistic missiles that posed a threat to merchant and US Navy ships. The Houthis claimed responsibility for a missile attack on the Malta-flagged bulk carrier Zografia. The US Navy SEALs seized Iranian-made missile parts and other weaponry from a ship bound for Yemen's Houthi rebels. The raid marks the latest seizure by the US Navy and its allies of weapon shipments bound for the rebels. The attacks, retaliatory strikes, and the raid have raised tensions across the Middle East. The US Navy ultimately sank the ship carrying the weapons after deeming it unsafe. The Houthis have repeatedly targeted ships in the Red Sea since November, imperiling shipping in a key route for global trade.
