The US and UK have launched a new wave of attacks on the Houthis

The strikes hit 36 ​​targets in 13 locations, including underground arsenals, missile and drone launch systems and other sites used in recent months by the Houthis to strike ships transiting the Red Sea. “This new joint action seeks to send a clear message to the Houthis that they will suffer serious consequences if they do not stop their unlawful attacks on international shipping,” US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said.

The bombings came 24 hours after the US carried out dozens of attacks against other Iran-allied militias in Syria and Iraq in retaliation for the deaths of three US soldiers in an attack on a US base in Jordan last week. Jake Sullivan, the White House national security adviser, assured this Sunday that these attacks will continue. “What happened on Friday was just the beginning, not the end, of our response. There will be more actions, some noticeable, some not,” he warned.
