US strikes Houthi targets again, officials say, as Biden vows attacks will continue

The U.S. conducted another strike Thursday against Houthi targets, two U.S. officials confirmed to ABC News, as President Joe Biden vows they will continue.

The U.S. conducted another strike Thursday against Houthi targets, U.S. Central Command said, as President Joe Biden vowed they will continue as the militant group keeps up attacks against ships in the Red Sea.

The strike targeted two anti-ship missiles that were aimed into the Southern Red Sea and were prepared to launch, CENTOM said, saying they posed "an imminent threat to merchant vessels and U.S. Navy ships in the region.”

It is the fifth time the U.S. has struck Houthi fighters in the past week.

President Biden earlier Thursday said the strikes will continue, though he admitted they've not yet deterred the group from attacking vessels in the Red Sea.
