US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that the United States will continue working to extract the Houthi militia's ability to launch attacks against commercial ships in the Red Sea.
Austin added, in a statement coinciding with the one-year anniversary of the start of attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, that efforts aimed at reducing the capabilities of the Houthi militia will continue.
Austin stressed the need to hold the Houthi militia accountable for its illegal and dangerous activity, which is what will actually happen, according to him
