There appears to be a looming escalation in the conflict in Yemen. Now, the armed forces of the USA and the UK have announced that they have attacked a total of 18 targets of the Houthi militia in the country on the Red Sea - and this, while the German frigate "Hessen" has arrived in the conflict area! The situation is threatening to escalate!
The attacks were aimed at weapons and missile depots, defense systems, radar installations, and a helicopter at various locations in Yemen. This action was announced in a joint statement by the participating countries, including the USA, UK, Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin emphasized: "The United States will not hesitate to take steps to protect lives and free trade on one of the most important waterways in the world." The Houthi militia will suffer the consequences of their attacks if they do not cease. The Houthis have repeatedly attacked ships in the Red Sea, particularly during the Gaza war between Israel and Hamas.
