British and American military forces executed a joint operation against Houthis in Yemen, marking a significant escalation since President Trump's renewed focus on the conflict. The operation targeted drone manufacturing sites used by the Houthis to launch attacks against maritime vessels in the strategic Red Sea area. Conducted carefully at night to minimize civilian risk, this action aligns with the intensifying military campaign against the Houthis amid their ongoing hostilities towards international shipping, justified by their claims of solidarity with Palestinians. The operation follows a series of strikes ordered under Operation Rough Rider, designed to counteract Houthi aggression.
Britain's military conducted a joint operation with U.S. forces against the Houthi militia in Yemen to degrade their capabilities and protect international shipping.
The joint operation aimed to target Houthi buildings used for drone manufacturing, with Typhoon jets deploying precision-guided bombs during nighttime to minimize civilian risk.
Since fall 2023, the Houthis have attacked commercial ships in the Red Sea, claiming their actions support Palestinians, prompting a response from U.S. and British forces.
The operation was in support of Operation Rough Rider, initiated by President Trump in March, following intense Houthi campaigns against maritime targets.
