The United States and Britain launched strikes on Houthi military targets in Yemen, leading to increased tensions in the Middle East. The move came in response to Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea, expanding the regional conflict. Russia called for an urgent UN Security Council meeting to discuss the military strikes. Houthi spokespersons expressed discontent with the US-British attack, stating that there was no justification for it, and they vowed to continue targeting ships headed towards Israel. The situation has raised concerns about a wider conflict in the oil-rich region and its potential impact on global energy supplies.
