The United States, in conjunction with the United Kingdom, executed retaliatory measures on Thursday evening against the Iran-supported Houthi insurgents based in Yemen. This was a reaction to a series of attacks aimed at commercial shipping routes, according to the official statement from the White House.

Houthi faction has been accused of launching a minimum of 27 drone and missile assaults towards merchant vessels traversing the proximity of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, according to the U.S. military. The rebels claim their actions are a resistance response to Israel's ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza.

With mutual support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands, the U.S. and U.K. military forces zeroed in on 'several targets' within Yemen, during the early hours on Friday as per the local time in Sana’a, the White House has conveyed.

This marked a notable first for the United States, in terms of conducting intentful strikes against entities associated with the Houthi insurgency since the initiation of their aggressive interactions with international shipping late in 2023.

President Joe Biden described these actions as a direct measure in response to an unparalleled chain of Houthi-instigated attacks against several seafaring vessels in the Red Sea. The nature of these attacks was highly alarming, as it included the use of anti-ship ballistic missiles, a dangerous precedent in history. These hostile activities were deliberately targeted at international shipping lines and called for immediate actions.
