The US and UK have claimed that they struck 8 Houthis sites in a second round of joint military action against the Yemein rebels

US, UK hit targets in Yemen as Houthis vow to strike back

The US and UK have claimed that they struck 8 Houthis sites in a second round of joint military action against the Yemein rebels

The United States and Britain launched a second round of joint military strikes on Yemen's Houthis on Tuesday over their attacks on Red Sea shipping, as the Iran-backed rebels vowed to hit back.
The latest raids, heard by residents of the rebel-held capital Sanaa around midnight (2100 GMT), hit eight Houthi targets, a joint US-UK statement said, while the Houthis listed 18 strikes across their territory.
US and British forces carried out a first wave of strikes against the rebel group earlier this month, and the United States launched further air raids against missiles that Washington said posed imminent threats to both civilian and military vessels.
But the Houthis have vowed to continue their attacks -- just one part of a growing crisis in the Middle East linked to the Israel-Hamas war, which has raised fears of a broader war directly involving Iran.
The latest strikes were against "eight Houthi targets in Yemen in response to the Houthis' continued attacks against international and commercial shipping as well as naval vessels transiting the Red Sea", Washington and London said in a joint statement with other countries that supported the military action.
"These precision strikes are intended to disrupt and degrade the capabilities that the Houthis use to threaten global trade and the lives of innocent mariners," the statement said.
The US Central Command said in a separate statement that the targets of the strikes "included missile systems and launchers, air defence systems, radars, and deeply buried weapons storage facilities".
- Attacks won't go 'unpunished' - &nbsp;British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said the Houthis had carried out more than 12 attacks on shipping since the first wave of joint strikes on January 11.
"What we have done again is send the clearest possible message that we will continue to degrade their ability to carry out these attacks... (and) that we back our words and our warnings with action," he said in a statement.
The Huthis remained defiant, with military spokesman Yahya Saree promising a response.
"These attacks will not go unanswered and unpunished," he wrote on X, formerly Twitter, listing 18 strikes in Sanaa, Hodeida, Taez and Al-Bayda provinces.
A senior US military official said the strikes were carried out using a combination of precision-guided munitions from US and British aircraft, and Tomahawk cruise missiles.
There were no concerns about civilian casualties at the sites that were hit, while Huthi losses were unknown, the official told journalists.
"The targeting was very specific and... very deliberate to go after the capability that they are using to attack maritime vessels in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab and Gulf of Aden," the official added.
Saree did not mention any casualties in his post on X.
Yemen's official Saba news agency said strikes hit Sanaa and several other parts of the country, while Houthi TV outlet Al-Masirah said four strikes targeted the Al-Dailami military base north of the capital, which is under rebel control.

Yemen's Houthi militia attacks Pakistan-bound ship in Red Sea

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militia attacked Mediterranean Shipping Company's United VIII which was on its way to Karachi in the Red Sea&nbsp;

Yemen's Houthi militia have claimed responsibility for the December 27 attack on the container ship MSC United VIII which was on its way to Karachi in Pakistan from King Abdullah Port, Saudi Arabia. Confirming the incident which happened in the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) informed that all crew members were safe. MSC stated that vessel assessments are underway and until safety is ensured vessels booked for Suez transit will be rerouted via Cape of Good Hope. These are the latest attacks in a series of drone and missile strikes by the group since the Israel-Hamas conflict began on October 7.

The United Arab Emirates intercepted several drones fired at the country at dawn Thursday, the UAE military said, the fourth such attack on the federation in recent weeks.
It didn't specify who launched the drones and from where but suspicion fell on Yemen's Iran-backed rebel Houthis. The Houthis have claimed responsibility for several drone and missile attacks on the UAE that have widened Yemen's 7-year-old civil war and fueled regional tensions.
In a short statement just before midnight Wednesday on Twitter, the Emirati Defense Ministry said it had destroyed three “hostile drones” that targeted the UAE at dawn. It said the interception occurred “away from populated areas,” without elaborating.
The Houthis have been battling a Saudi-led coalition that includes the UAE since 2015 after the rebels took control of Yemen's capital, Sanaa. The war reached Emirati soil for the first time last month, when the Houthis fired drones and missiles at the country. US and Emirati forces have jointly intercepted the past two aerial attacks, including one earlier this week as Israel's president began a historic visit to the Gulf Arab country.
Another attack in mid-January killed three workers from India and Pakistan and wounded six others.
There was no immediate comment from Yemen's Houthis on any drone launches Thursday. However, the rebel group's media office posted a claim from a largely unknown group called the “True Promise Brigade” that said it launched four drones at the UAE in retaliation for its “interference” in the region, without offering evidence to support its claim.
The UAE said it was ready “to deal with any threats and is taking all necessary measures to protect the state.” The escalation has threatened the UAE's reputation as a haven for international business in a region mired in conflict and collapse. Expats outnumber locals in the Emirates nearly nine to one.

Yemen, the poorest country among Arab nations, is once again in the spotlight after drone strikes in Emirates capital Abu Dhabi where followed by Saudi Arabia-led coalition carrying out strikes on the militant Houthi group.
Yemen's war began in September 2014, when the Houthis, who are Shias, seized Sanaa and began a march south to try to seize the entire country. Saudi Arabia, along with the UAE, both of whom are Sunni majority, and other countries, entered the war alongside Yemen's internationally recognised government in March 2015.
Situated along the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen had been split in the Cold War between a Marxist south and a northern republic. The two nations became a unified Yemen in 1990, fought a civil war in 1994 and later came under the rule of Ali Abdullah Saleh. During the Arab Spring protests, Saleh began losing his grip on power and ultimately agreed to let his vice president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, take over. However, Hadi's government struggled and Saleh, seeing a second chance to regain power, had his forces side with the same Houthis as they swept into the capital in 2014.
Iran, which is a Shia majority, seeing the opportunity to aid a war of attrition against its regional rival, Saudi Arabia, backed the Houthis. Arab countries, the West and United Nations experts say Iran has armed the Houthis with everything from assault rifles to ballistic missiles.
Saudi Arabia and its Gulf Arab allies fear the Houthis could grow as powerful as Lebanon's Shia Hezbollah militant group. The Houthis have already launched drone and missile attacks deep into the kingdom before, and on occasions struck oil wells.
All the while, Yemen's issues such as endemic poverty, lack of water and other resources have worsened. The war merely compounded the misery, and the country of 29 million people is now on the brink of famine.
The war has killed some 233,000 people, including 131,000 from indirect causes such as lack of food, health services and infrastructure, according to the United Nations.
The aid group, Save the Children, estimates that 85,000 children under the age of five have died from starvation or disease since the war began.

The U.S. Navy announced Wednesday it tested a laser weapon and destroyed a floating target in the Mideast, a system that could be used to counter bomb-laden drone boats deployed by Yemen's Houthi rebels in the Red Sea.
The test Tuesday saw the USS Portland test-fire its Laser Weapon System Demonstrator at the target in the Gulf of Aden, the body of water separating East Africa from the Arabian Peninsula.
The Navy's Mideast-based 5th Fleet described the laser as having "successfully engaged" the target in a statement.
Previously, the Portland used the laser to bring down a flying drone in May 2020.
The Gulf of Aden sits along the southern coast of war-torn Yemen, which has been at war since Iranian-backed Houthi rebels seized its capital, Sanaa, in 2014.
A Saudi-led coalition entered the conflict in March 2015 but the stalemate conflict has dragged on for years, becoming the world's worst humanitarian disaster and killing an estimated 110,000 people.
The war also has bled into the surrounding waterways, like the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb, which connects the sea to the Gulf of Aden.
These waterways lead to the Suez Canal and onto the Mediterranean Sea, making them crucial for international shipping and global energy supplies.
The Houthis have deployed drone boats into these waters, which can be piloted remotely and sent up to a target before detonating.
These boats are suspected of being built with Iran's help.
Emirati officials in 2018 showed off footage they described as coming from a drone boat computer that had Iranians building components for the boat's guidance system, with a hat visible in the background of one picture bearing the symbol of Iran's hard-line paramilitary Revolutionary Guard.
Iran has denied arming the Houthis, though United Nations experts, independent analysts and Western nations point to evidence showing Tehran's link to the weapons.
The Portland, a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock, has its home port in San Diego.
The ship is deployed as part of the Essex Amphibious Ready Group that's now in the Mideast.

We might have recovered from Cholera's snatches decades ago, but the ancient disease seems to have resurfaced. Last year, the WHO declared an ongoing outbreak in Yemen as the worst recorded in history with over a million cases reported, and 2500 deaths since 2016. The water-borne disease is now spreading to other African countries that face water shortages. A deadly disease that originated in India, cholera spread around the world in the early 1800s, but was treated later.

The UN Security Council voted unanimously on Friday authorising the deployment of a UN team to monitor a ceasefire in Yemen's key port of Hodeida and the withdrawal of rival forces from the area. The ceasefire, if implemented, could be a potential breakthrough in the four-year civil war that has driven Yemen to the brink of starvation and created the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
