US, UK forces conduct joint military operation in Yemen
The UK’s Ministry of Defence says British forces participated in a joint operation with the US military against a Houthi target in Yemen on Tuesday.
The ministry said the Royal Air Force’s Typhoon FGR4s, with air refuelling support from Voyager tankers, bombed a cluster of buildings used by the Houthis to manufacture drones near the capital, Sanaa.
There was no immediate comment from the US military.
Earlier, the Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV reported a series of air raids in the province of Sanaa, in the districts of Bani Matar, Bani Hashish, Al Husn and Hamdan.
It said a number of houses were damaged in the Al Dalia neighbourhood of Bani Hashish district.
The US has been bombarding Yemen on a near-daily basis since last month, when the Houthis, who control most of the country, threatened to resume attacks on Israel-linked ships passing through the Red Sea.

US claims bombing more than 1,000 targets in Yemen since mid-March
The US military says its forces “have hit over 1,000 targets” in Yemen since mid-March, “killing Houthi fighters and leaders, including senior Houthi missile and UAV officials, and degrading their capabilities”.
The Houthis, however, say US attacks have hit residential homes and civilian infrastructure, killing many children and women.
The rebel group said that US forces bombed a detention centre for African migrants in the northern province of Saada on Sunday, killing at least 68 people.
A UN spokesperson later said preliminary information indicated that those killed were migrants.

Survivor describes US attack on Yemen migrant facility
“The planes struck close by twice. The third time they hit us.” That’s how Abed Ibrahim Saleh, a 34-year-old from Ethiopia, described Monday’s deadly US strike on a migrant detention centre in Yemen’s Saada governorate.
“Bodies ripped apart. I can’t describe what I saw,” Saleh was quoted as saying by AFP news agency from a nearby hospital, where he and other survivors were recovering. “A hand here, a leg there,” Saleh said. “I don’t want to remember.”
