ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE/WASHINGTON/NEW DELHI (Reuters): The United States launched new strikes against Houthi anti-ship missiles aimed at the Red Sea on Thursday (Jan 18), as growing tensions in the region's sea lanes disrupted global trade and raised fears of supply bottlenecks that could reignite inflation.
The two anti-ship missiles targeted in the strikes were being prepared by Yemen's Houthis for firing into the Red Sea and deemed "an imminent threat" to shipping and US Navy vessels in the region, the US military said.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
