UK and US Declare Strikes on Houthi Sites in Yemen as Acts of Self-Defense, Raising Global Concerns

 UK and US Launch Strikes on Houthi Sites in Yemen in Self-Defense, Asserts Rishi Sunak

In response to increased Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea, the UK and US carried out targeted strikes on Houthi military facilities in Yemen. Chancellor Rishi Sunak emphasized that the action was a necessary and proportionate measure to safeguard lives and commercial shipping.

Houthi officials warned of consequences, stating the UK and US would "pay a heavy price." The strikes, supported by Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, aim to deter further attacks. The situation will be addressed in Parliament, and a legal summary justifies the strikes under international law.

Ongoing developments and geopolitical reactions are unfolding, with Russia requesting a UN Security Council meeting and Saudi Arabia expressing concern.

The repercussions of these strikes may impact global trade routes and contribute to discussions on international intervention in the region.
