British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said on Tuesday that the campaign to reduce the Houthis' military capabilities would continue after the United States and the United Kingdom launched another round of strikes on Monday.
“Since we last took action, 10 days ago, there have been over 12 attacks on ships by the Houthis in the Red Sea. These attacks are illegal, unacceptable, and what we have done is send a clear message once again. “We will continue to reduce their ability to carry out these attacks, while our “We will send a clear message that we back our warnings with words and actions,” Cameron told the media on Tuesday.
In addition to the latest airstrikes, Cameron added that the UK would use a “full range of measures”, including the Royal Navy in the Red Sea and economic sanctions, to increase pressure on the Houthis.
On Monday, Royal Air Force Typhoon FGR4s, supported by a pair of Voyager air tankers, joined US forces in a deliberate attack on Houthi bases in Yemen, the UK Ministry of Defense said in a press release.
That's a smaller number than the first joint operation on January 11, which hit more than 30 Houthi targets.
