According to CNN, it was the eighth American attack against rebel targets in 10 days.
The attack targeted eight targets, carried out by the United States and Britain and supported by Canada, the Netherlands, Bahrain and Australia.
A joint statement from Washington and London explained that the airstrikes were a response to ongoing attacks on international shipping and warships transiting the Red Sea.
The airstrikes had already been reported by the Huhti’s official SABA news agency. “American and British forces conducted airstrikes in the capital Sanaa and several other areas of Yemen,” the news agency said.
British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps said in a press release that Britain carried out the airstrikes against the United States in self-defense. According to Shapps, Houthi attacks continue to threaten shipping and lives in the Red Sea and cause unsustainable costs to the global economy.
“The aim of the attacks is to reduce the Houthis’ weapons capabilities and opportunities to threaten international trade,” Shapps said.
“Along with our ongoing diplomatic efforts, we will continue to support regional stability across the Middle East, and we will do so hand in hand with our like-minded partners,” the minister added.
Houthi leader Mohamed Ali al-Houthi said after the attack that the airstrikes will only strengthen the Yemeni people.
After the latest round of US and British airstrikes in Yemen on Monday, Houthi leader Mohamed Ali al-Houthi said the strikes would only strengthen the Yemeni people.
“Your attacks will only make the Yemeni people stronger and more determined to face you because you are the aggressors against our country,” he said. Published in X in the text.
