Britain said in a joint statement that 24 countries, including the US, Germany, and Australia, conducted more strikes on against eight targets in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. “These strikes were designed to disrupt and degrade the capability of the Houthis to continue their attacks on global trade and innocent mariners from around the world,” the statement said. “The 30-plus attacks that the Houthis have launched on commercial and naval vessels since mid-November constitute a threat to all countries that rely on international maritime shipping,” it added.
