The U.S. and the UK conducted another round of strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen before dawn on Thursday, according to local media reports.

The strikes hit Houthi targets in five provinces, including Hodeidah, the main port on the Red Sea coast controlled by the Houthis, Al-Masirah TV reported.

The attack followed the Houthis claim of a missile strike on a U.S. ship in the Gulf of Aden on Wednesday night.

Houthis vowed to continue targeting Red Sea shipping soon after the fourth round of strikes in Yemen. 

"We will continue to target Israeli ships heading to the ports of occupied Palestine, no matter how the American-British aggression tries to prevent us from doing so," a Houthi military official told Al-Masirah TV.
