Newly observed two charmed-strange resonances, and , are investigated by calculating their Okubo–Zweig–Iizuka-allowed strong decays, which shows that they are suitable candidates for the 
and 
states in the charmed-strange meson family. Our study also predicts other main decay modes of and , which can be accessible at the future experiment. In addition, the decay behaviors of the spin partners of and , i.e., 
and 
, are predicted in this work, which are still missing at present. The experimental search for the missing and charmed-strange mesons is an intriguing and challenging task for further experiments.
