TL;DR

The UK military is reportedly planning coordinated air strikes with the US, and potentially another European nation, against the Houthi rebels in Yemen to address the disruption in the Red Sea. The strikes may involve RAF warplanes or the HMS Diamond, a Type 45 destroyer. This action comes after the Houthis seized the Galaxy Leader cargo ship, which is now on display in Hodeida. An official statement from the UK and US is anticipated soon, which could escalate tensions in the region.
