Houthi militants are continuing attacks in the Red Sea in spite of a joint U.S.-U.K. strike on a dozen targets in Yemen on Thursday, a senior Pentagon official told reporters on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A ballistic anti-ship missile landed in the water on Friday morning, said Lt. Gen. Douglas Sims II, director of the Joint Staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would expect that they will attempt some sort of retaliation,\u201d he said. \u201cQuite honestly, I would hope they wouldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allied strikes in Yemen hit more than 60 targets in more than a dozen locations, the White House confirmed Thursday night, meant to degrade the group\u2019s ability to continue its attacks on shipping lanes in the Red Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sims called out Iran for its backing of the Houthis, saying that the country\u2019s leadership has some power to tell the group to stand down and prevent any further U.S.-led strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo the hope would be that any real thought of retaliation is based on a clear understanding that, you know, we simply are not going to be messed with here,\u201d Sims said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Navy on Friday sent a message warning U.S. shipping companies to stay out of the region in the wake of the strikes,\u00a0the Associated Press reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy guess is that the Houthis are trying to figure things out on the ground, and trying to determine what capabilities still exist for them,\u201d Sims said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the targets were air surveillance and radar systems, as well has launch sites for the missiles and drones used in 27 attacks on or near commercial ships as of Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A battle damage assessment, totaling destroyed equipment and casualties, is still being compiled, Sims said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Houthi spokesman announced Thursday that the strikes had killed five and injured another six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe number of casualties we don\u2019t expect would be very high,\u201d Sims said. \u201cIn fact, the majority of the locations that we hit were in areas that were not built up at all \u2015 so think ballistic missile launchers that were in mountain areas or you know, very lowly populated areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the U.S. expects Houthis to retaliate for the strikes, Sims said, officials don\u2019t believe they will be able to replicate the\u00a0complex attack carried out Tuesday, which included 18 drones, two cruise missiles and one ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know we have degraded capability,\u201d Sims said. \u201cI don\u2019t believe that they would be able to execute the same way they did the other day. But we will see.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
