US and UK strike Houthi targets in Yemen after attacks on shipping in Red Sea • FRANCE 24 English

Us officials are now saying that they have started air strikes along with their British counterparts on several houthi held strongholds we are hearing reports that there have been explosions in the capital SAA as well as a coastal Port stronghold as well uh some news outlets including CNN are reporting that

These strikes have been conducted with fighter jets and tomahawk missiles as well so it’s likely that the uh us and the UK are targeting military infrastructure likely the missile sites that have been launching these missile drones over the past couple of weeks as well as radar installations along the

Coast of Yemen uh we first got some kind of semblance that something might be in the offing here after Rishi sunak the British prime minister called an emergency meeting of Cobra uh that’s the British emergency Council as it were uh and also discuss the situation with cabinet members uh and also the

Opposition leader Kia starma as well now this obviously comes in the wake of Tuesday’s attack which saw dozens of uh houy drones and other missiles shot down that were headed for us and UK uh ships that had been sent to the area to protect vessels making Passage through

The region so that really was quite an escalation the US on the back of that said that the houthis needed to be prepared for the consequences of their actions up until now we didn’t know what those consequences looked like uh but now we do know that missile strikes have

Been taking place so the um threats that the US had been giving back to the houthis about consequences had appeared to fall on De ears and there was an attack as recent as Thursday with the 27th attack that the huis have held uh since the uh October 7th attack by Hamas on Israel

President Joe Biden said Thursday that US and British forces had launched air strikes against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen in “defensive action” after attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.
