The U.S. did not carry out any new raids today against the Houthis in Yemen. This was reported by a senior Pentagon official.
"No new attacks by the U.S. or the coalition," he said.
The statement contradicts the Russian agency Tass, which had reported a new US-UK raid against a Houthi facility in Yemen's Hodeida province.

Cameron: 'Attacks on Houthis are not an escalation'
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron today denied that UK and US attacks on Houthi rebels in Yemen were an escalation. "No. The escalation was caused by the Houthis. I mean, the point is that since November 19, there have been these 26 attacks. There have been more, they have worsened and, you know, not acting is also a policy, it is a policy that does not work," Cameron said in response to a question on the 'Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg' programme. This was reported by the Guardian.
Hezbollah: 'Attacks on Yemen an American idiocy'
The Anglo-American attacks on Houthi positions in Yemen were an idiocy of the United States and its allies, who are proving ignorant, said the leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah, Hasan Nasrallah, in a speech broadcast live on TV from an undisclosed location. "How can you expect Yemenis to stop targeting Israeli or Israeli-linked cargo ships with these attacks?" asked Nasrallah rhetorically.
