Britain and the United States have carried out new joint airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, marking the UK’s first publicized strike operation alongside the U.S. since the Trump era. RAF Typhoon jets targeted Houthi drone sites near Sanaa, in response to escalating attacks on commercial shipping and missiles fired toward Israel. These Iran-backed assaults have disrupted global trade in the Red Sea by over 50%. UK Defense Secretary John Healey warned the ongoing Houthi threat poses serious risks to regional stability, global shipping, and national economies. All RAF aircraft returned safely.

Tensions flared over the Baltic Sea as two Swedish fighter jets under NATO command intercepted and escorted a Russian IL-20 “Coot” reconnaissance aircraft flying dangerously close to Polish airspace. The dramatic aerial standoff, confirmed by Sweden’s armed forces, comes just days after British RAF jets similarly intercepted Russian planes. With NATO forces on high alert and repeated Russian incursions near member states, the alliance warns it is fully prepared to retaliate if provoked further.
