The US has increased pressure on Yemen’s Houthi rebels by imposing sanctions on 32 people and entities, as well as four vessels, in what Washington described as its largest single action against the group. The Treasury Department said the targets of the sanctions included Chinese companies accused of selling precursor chemicals to help the Houthis with ballistic missile development and electronics used in drones. “We will continue applying maximum pressure against those who threaten the security of the United States and the region,” Treasury Department official John Hurley said in a statement.
