YEMEN’S Houthi government threatened to take a “strong and effective response” after the United States carried out another strike in the country over the weekend.

The latest strike on Saturday, which the US said hit a radar site, came a day after dozens of US and British strikes on Houthi facilities in Yemen.

Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam told Reuters that the strikes, including the one overnight that hit a military base in Sanaa, had no significant impact on the group’s ability to prevent Israel-affiliated vessels from passing through the Red Sea and Arabian Sea.
