Houthi rebels responded defiantly after the US military hit a radar site in Yemen a day after dozens of US and UK strikes.

“This new strike will have a firm, strong and effective response,” Houthi spokesman Nasruldeen Amer told Al Jazeera, adding there were no injuries or “material damage”.

Mohammed Abdulsalam, another Houthi spokesman, said the strikes, including one overnight that hit a military base in the capital Sanaa, had no significant impact on the group’s ability to prevent Israel-affiliated vessels from passing through the Red Sea and Arabian Sea.
