Officials said the strikes were in response to ongoing attacks against foreign commercial and naval vessels passing through the Red Sea. A statement by US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin also appeared on the Pentagon website.

Also on this day, the Yemeni Houthis announced shelling of the American destroyer USS Gravely in the Red Sea.
