Increased airstrikes by the US and the UK target Houthi targets in the capital of Yemen In a joint statement, the US and UK claimed that their armies had attacked 36 Houthi targets in 13 different places throughout Yemen, assisted by Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. As per the statement, the purpose of the strikes was to weaken and hinder the ability of the Houthi militia, which is supported by Iran, to carry out their heedless and unstable assaults on American and foreign ships that were legally passing through the Red Sea. The statement claims that airstrikes destroyed Houthi missile systems, launchers, underground weapons storage sites, and other equipment.
Although the statement notes the Houthis' ties to Iran, it is unclear if these strikes are a part of the US's announced plans to retaliate for drone attacks on Jordan that resulted in the deaths of three US soldiers.
