A major conflict involving the UK broke out in Yemen overnight.
The Houthis – a militia group backed by Iran – have been attacking commercial ships in the Red Sea since the outbreak of the Israel-Gaza war back in October. Last night the British and American militaries bombed multiple sites in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, killing at least five fighters.
It remains unclear how extensive the damage was, although the Houthis said at least five sites, including airfields, had been attacked. The Ministry of Defence described its strikes hitting a site in Bani allegedly used by the Houthis to launch drones and an airfield in Abbs used to launch cruise missiles and drones.
