Yemen strikes: Rishi Sunak warns Houthis after fresh missile attack

Rishi Sunak has warned the Houthis of further Western airstrikes, after a missile from the rebel group hit a US-owned ship near Yemen. Challenged in parliament on further military action, he said: “Of course we will not hesitate to protect our security, our people and our interests.” In a statement to the House of Commons, Mr Sunak also stressed that British military action last week was “necessary and proportionate response to a direct threat to UK vessels and therefore to the UK itself”. The Prime Minister told MPs all planned targets had been destroyed with no reports of civilian casualties. #yemen #uk #navy https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/01/15/israel-hamas-war-latest-updates-gaza-yemen-day-101-live/ Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
