Summary
Britain’s military conducted a joint operation with U.S. forces against the Houthi militia in Yemen for the first time since President Trump re-entered office, aiming to degrade Houthi capabilities and protect international shipping. The operation targeted buildings used for drone manufacturing near Sana, with careful planning to minimize civilian risk, although details on casualties were not provided. This strike follows intensified Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, coinciding with President Trump’s “Operation Rough Rider,” which has seen over 800 U.S. targets struck since March.
