U.S. and British militaries launch joint strikes against multiple Houthi sites in Yemen

The US and UK militaries have conducted coordinated strikes on several locations used by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen. The airstrikes targeted missile storage sites, drones, and launchers. Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands also contributed to the mission. The aim of the strikes is to de-escalate tensions and restore stability in the Red Sea. The allied nations warned the Houthi leadership that they will defend lives and the free flow of commerce in the critical waterways if faced with continued threats.
