US forces confirmed early Monday that military operations against the Houthis in Yemen were continuing, hours after launching four airstrikes in the western Yemeni province of Al Hudaydah.

Prime Minister Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak said his government will take "all necessary measures" to ensure that vulnerable social groups and food and commodity imports are not harmed by the designation of the Houthis as a terrorist organization.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the strikes would continue until the Houthis were "unable" to continue carrying out attacks targeting international shipping. Dozens of airstrikes began Saturday evening, resulting in deaths and injuries.
