PM Rishi Sunak: Yemen strikes were a last resort

The prime minister says he "will not hesitate" to protect British security after defence secretary Grant Shapps refused to rule out further action against the Houthis to safeguard the Red Sea.

Rishi Sunak, who will address MPs about the decision to take part in joint airstrikes in Yemen with the US, said the military action was a "last resort" designed to "restore stability" in the region.

Iraqi Islamic Resistance Pounds Vital Israelā€™s Eilat Port with New Al-Arfad Drones | Video Out

The Iraqi Resistance has launched another attack in Israel, targeting the Eilat Port with a new kamikaze drone. Claiming responsibility for the strike, the group stated it was in support of Gaza. This marks the first time the resistance group has used the Al-Arfad suicide drones, which bear resemblance to the Yemeni armed forces' Sammad line of attack drone. Previously relying on its own version of the Shahed-101 drone, the resistance released a video capturing the moment the drone struck the target in Eilat. However, details regarding the location of impact and casualties remain undisclosed. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been increasingly staging such attacks on Israeli targets, particularly since the Israeli offensive in Rafah, despite prior warnings. #IraqiResistance #EilatPortAttack #AlArfadDrones #RafahOffensive #Israel #GazaSupport #DroneStrike #MilitaryConflict #MiddleEast #SecurityThreat ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.318~GR.121~

Houthis Wreck Havoc In Red Sea: 3 Ships Assaulted Within Hours In Fresh Missile Blitz | Oneindia

Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for two attacks on ships in the Gulf of Aden and another assault in the Indian Ocean. The group's military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, announced the attacks on the MSC Diego and MSC Gina in the Gulf of Aden, along with the previously unreported attack on the MSC Vittoria in the Indian Ocean. These incidents raise concerns about the potential use of underwater drones (UUVs) by the Houthis, posing a significant threat to shipping, particularly in the Red Sea. The Centre for International Maritime Security has highlighted the secretive nature of Houthi UUV capabilities, warning of the devastating impact on targeted vessels. Amidst these developments, the Houthis have issued warnings to Israel over the conflict in the Gaza Strip, asserting that their attacks on shipping aim to pressure Israel to end the war. They have vowed to continue these assaults until Israel ceases its military actions in Gaza. #HouthiRebels #UnderseaDrones #RedSeaAttacks #IsraeliShips #GulfOfAden #YemenConflict #MaritimeSecurity #HouthiStrikes #ShippingThreat #MiddleEastTrouble ~PR.152~ED.102~HT.95~
