U.S. strikes rebel-held Yemen

The U.S. Navy has launched Tomahawk missiles at three coastal radar sites in territory held by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, in retaliation for failed missile attacks on a destroyer in the Red Sea

Failed missile attacks on USS Mason appear to be part of reaction to Oct 9 air strike on funeral hall in Sanaa that killed 140 people
