Houthi-run media reports four US, UK strikes on Yemen
The Al Masirah television channel run by the Houthis reports that the US and UK militaries conducted four air strikes on Yemen. The latest attacks were carried out in al-Durayhimi, south of the port city of Hodeidah, a short while ago, it said.
Neither the US nor UK militaries had an immediate reaction to the report but they have launched joint strikes on Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen for months as the Iran-backed group continues to attack cargo and military vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden in support of Palestinians in Gaza.
Houthi attacks will lead to major geopolitical changes: Minister
Major-General Mohammad Nasser al-Atefi, the defence minister of the Houthi government in Yemen, says the group’s attacks on cargo and military ships will result in major shifts in the international order.
Dozens of attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, which the group says it is carrying out to stop Israel’s war on Gaza, will “inevitably lead to geopolitical changes that accompany a new world order”, he said.
“We are now imposing new rules of engagement, which will make the Americans, the British and the Zionists to pay a heavy price”, he was quoted as saying by the Houthi-run Al Masirah channel. “The Yemenis are not warmongers or aggressors, but the brutal crimes witnessed in Gaza prompt free nations to take a stance, and that includes our people.”
