"US and UK Launch Strikes on Houthi Sites in Yemen in Response to Red Sea Attacks"

The US and UK have conducted targeted air and missile strikes against Houthi sites in Yemen in response to the rebels' surge in attacks on commercial and naval vessels in the Red Sea. The Houthi spokesperson claimed responsibility for shooting down a US drone and damaging a British cargo ship, leading to concerns of potential sinking in the Gulf of Aden. The US Defense Secretary emphasized the consequences for the Houthi's illegal attacks, while Iran accused the US and UK of escalating tensions in the region.
