Britain approves limited defensive refuelling for Saudi jets to deter Houthis
Britain has approved a time-limited plan for the RAF to provide air-to-air refuelling to Saudi aircraft on defensive missions against Houthi drone and missile attacks, starting in the coming days. The move is aimed at defending Saudi Arabia, keeping shipping routes open through key chokepoints like Bab al-Mandeb, and will be reviewed as the situation evolves.
