"International Coalition Launches Strikes on Iran-Backed Groups in Yemen"
TL;DR Summary
The United States and Britain, along with six allies, launched heavy military strikes on 36 Houthi targets at 13 sites in northern Yemen, targeting Iran-backed militias and aiming to deter attacks on ships in the Red Sea. The airstrikes, involving warplanes, Navy Tomahawk cruise missiles, and support from other countries, were in response to Houthi actions threatening global trade and innocent mariners. This comes after a series of Houthi drone and missile attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea, with the Houthis claiming their actions are in protest of Israel’s military campaign against Hamas in Gaza.
