UK and US launch new joint air strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen
The US and UK have launched a second round of air strikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
The strikes were launched on Monday night against Houthi missile and drone launching sites in Yemen, a US defence official told The Telegraph, following weeks of assaults by the group against naval and commercial ships in the Bab el-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea.
Monday’s strikes involved four RAF Typhoons and two Voyager refuelling aircraft. They used Paveway IV guided bombs to strike multiple targets at two locations near an airfield at Sanaa, the Yemeni capital.
A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said the locations were being used to “enable the continued intolerable attacks against international shipping in the Red Sea”.
