"Rishi Sunak Defends UK's 'Limited' Strikes on Yemen's Houthis"

UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak stated that the joint US-UK strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen were a "limited, single action" in self-defense, following Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea. The Labour party supported the "targeted action" but emphasized the need for a clear strategy, while the Liberal Democrats, SNP, and Plaid Cymru called for a parliamentary vote on the strikes. Sunak defended the decision not to consult Parliament, citing the need for swift action to protect security. The Houthi attacks have led to concerns about potential escalation and risks to international security and the global economy.
