"Joint US-UK Airstrikes Target Houthi Forces in Yemen"

The U.S. and U.K. conducted airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen for the second time this month, retaliating against the group's attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea. The strikes, totaling eight rounds, aimed to deter the Iran-backed Houthis, who have launched over 30 attacks since November. The U.S. has taken preemptive action, destroying Houthi air defense capabilities and increasing surveillance over Yemen. The international task force "Operation Prosperity Guardian" continues to support commercial ships in the Red Sea, but direct military action against Houthi targets remains a necessity.
