American and British Airstrikes on Houthi Rebels in Yemen
This week, America and its allies conducted airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in response to the Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea. The strikes targeted Houthi military capabilities related to the Red Sea, such as air defenses, munition depots, and missile launch sites. The goal was to hinder the Houthi ability to attack international shipping.
