Summary 

The US launches a fresh strike against a Houthi target in Yemen.

The attack targeted a radar site with Tomahawk missiles launched from a warship, the US military says.

The military describes the attack as a "follow-on action" from Friday's wider US-UK strikes, which had targeted nearly 30 locations.

Earlier, President Biden warned the US would respond if the Yemeni rebels continued "outrageous behaviour" in attacking Red Sea shipping.

The Iran-backed Houthis have said attacks in Yemen will not go without "punishment or retaliation", vowing to continue attacking ships in the Red Sea.

Many thousands of Yemenis took to the streets in the country's capital hours after the initial attacks on Friday.
