The United States and the United Kingdom conducted airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen in response to recent attacks on cargo ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis, an Iran-backed group, claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying they were targeting vessels linked to Israel. The airstrikes, authorized by US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, aimed to disrupt the Houthis' ability to launch further attacks and de-escalate the conflict in the region.
