Published: 04 February 2024 at 00:07

The US and Britain have launched a fresh wave of strikes against 36 Houthi targets in Yemen. The strikes are aimed at disabling Iran-backed groups that have attacked American and international interests. This comes after the US conducted air assaults on targets in Iraq and Syria. The US strikes on Yemen involved fighter jets and warships, while Britain\'s RAF Typhoon FGR4s also participated in the strikes. This marks the third joint operation between the US and Britain to target Houthi weapon launchers, radar sites, and drones.
