In a significant move against escalating Houthi attacks, the US and UK executed coordinated strikes in Yemen. Targeting Houthi strongholds, the assault utilized warship-launched Tomahawk missiles and fighter jets to hit logistical hubs, air defense systems, and weapons storage sites. This response follows a final warning issued by the White House and allies to the Iranian-backed group, urging a halt to persistent drone and missile assaults on commercial ships. Despite a brief pause, Houthi rebels resumed attacks, prompting the joint military action. The rebels vow a robust retaliation if the US continues strikes on their Yemeni sites.
