U.S. and U.K. Launch Raids in Yemen

CAIRO (Reuters) – The United States and Britain launched raids on the Yemeni capital Sanaa, the Amran governorate, and other areas, as reported by Al Masirah TV, the main news outlet run by the Houthi movement, on Sunday.

Houthi media and residents stated that about nine raids targeted Sanaa, its suburbs, and the Amran governorate.

Iran-aligned Houthi militants have been attacking international shipping near Yemen since November of last year, in solidarity with the Palestinians amid Israel's war with Hamas.

These attacks have incited U.S. and British retaliatory strikes and disrupted global trade, prompting ship owners to reroute vessels away from the Red Sea and Suez Canal to navigate the longer route around the southern tip of Africa.
