Houthis vow retaliation after US and UK strike 16 sites in Yemen - BBC News

The Houthis have vowed that US and UK strikes on their positions in Yemen will not go without “punishment or retaliation“. The Iran-backed group pledges to continue its attacks on ships in the Red Sea and its support for Hamas in Gaza. The US says overnight military strikes by air and sea targeted 16 Houthi positions including command centres, munitions depots and air defence systems. UK prime minister Rishi Sunak has called the strikes “limited, necessary and proportionate action in self-defence“. Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused the UK and US of trying to turn the Red Sea into a “sea of blood“.Subscribe here: For more news, analysis and features visit: #RedSea #Yemen #BBCNews
