Sanaa: Joint attack by the United States and Britain on Yemen for the second day in a row. Attacks intensified in Yemen’s capital Sanaa and the coastal city of Hudaydah. The Houthis have repeatedly said they will retaliate against the attack. The US Navy has asked US-flagged ships to stay out of the Red Sea amid threats from the Houthis. But it is not clear if anyone was injured or killed in the attack. There are reports that only US planes attacked and US and UK planes attacked jointly. But Pentagon has stated that the attack was carried out and about 30 locations were targeted.
The United States and Britain bombed ten places like Hudaydah and Sana’a the other day. With this, West Asia is in a great fear of war. West Asia has become more turbulent with the US and British-led attack on Yemen’s Houthi strongholds. Most cargo ships stopped plying through the Red Sea after the Houthis warned that a strong retaliation was imminent.
The Houthis reiterated that the attack, which resulted in the death of five soldiers and the wounding of six others, was sure to result in heavy retaliation. The Houthis, who reiterated their support for the Palestinian people, accused the United States and Britain of only targeting Israel’s naval service.
But US President Joe Biden said he would not hesitate to launch further attacks to protect his own troops and international shipping. Biden added that the Houthis in Yemen are a terrorist organization.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the attack was a limited and necessary act of self-defence. Joe Biden said that the Netherlands, Australia, Canada and Bahrain also provided assistance to the attack.
But Italy responded by rejecting the American request. After the attack in Yemen, oil prices rose by more than 4 percent. Iran’s seizure of an oil tanker on its way to Turkey near the coast of Oman on Thursday added to the tension. Oman condemns US-UK joint airstrikes in Yemen
