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.

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~
