The US and UK launched another round of joint air strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen on Monday, the second time that Britain has been directly involved in the military action targeting the Iran-backed rebel group.
The two allies’ militaries struck eight Houthi targets in Yemen, including an underground storage site and locations used for missiles and air surveillance, a statement from the US and the UK said.
The bombardment was the eighth time the US has struck Houthi targets in Yemen since January 11, when President Joe Biden authorised a military campaign in response to the rebel group’s attacks on vessels sailing through the Red Sea, a critical shipping lane for global trade.
