American forces launched a second night of air strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen on Saturday morning, officials have said.
It is understood that US forces struck a target near Sana’a, the Yemeni capital, and witnesses reported intense air activity above the city.
CNN reported that Saturday’s attack was launched from a US Navy ship in the Red Sea and was carried out against a radar site that the Pentagon determined to be a threat.
The Houthi TV channel Al-Masirah reported that multiple raids had targeted Sana’a, including the Al-Dailami airbase.
The Pentagon has been approached for confirmation.
Saturday’s air strikes come just over 24 hours since a joint operation by US and British forces that targeted more than 60 Houthi sites.
In recent months the Iran-backed group has carried out 27 assaults on commercial ships in the Red Sea, provoking a military response from allied nations.
