The Houthis, a rebel group in Yemen, have promised to retaliate against U.S. and British assets following recent strikes carried out by the United States and the United Kingdom. The Houthi Prime Minister, Ali Al-Hussein, denounced the 'criminal aggression' against Yemen and declared that his forces would not hesitate to target threatening sources on land and sea.
The U.S. ambassador defended the strikes as legal under international law, stating that their aim was to disrupt and degrade the Houthis' ability to carry out attacks on vessels and commercial shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The strikes were deemed necessary and proportionate, with the United States emphasizing its desire to de-escalate tensions and restore stability in the region while respecting freedom of navigation.
