Strikes follow attacks by Houthi rebels on commercial vessels in the Red Sea by Iranian-backed Houthi militants in protest against Israel’s war in Gaza
The US and Britain launched air and missile strikes in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, aimed at halting attacks on ships in the Red Sea, Washington and London have announced.
Joe Biden, the US president, said American and British forces, with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands were involved in the overnight attack, which appeared to target a dozen sites in the country.
