The United States and Britain have started carrying out strikes against targets linked to Houthis in Yemen, four US officials tell Reuters, the first time strikes have been launched against the Iran-backed group since it started targeting international shipping in the Red Sea late last year.
Raids were conducted on several Yemeni cities in the early hours of Friday, an official from the Houthi movement says.
“American-Zionist-British aggression against Yemen launches several raids on the capital, Sanaa, Hodeidah governorate, Saada, and Dhamar,” Houthi official Abdul Qader al-Mortada says on X.
