On Tuesday, the Houthi group called on United Nations and international organizations in Yemen to leave their American and British employees within a month.
The Houthis’ demand for the departure of US and British employees coincides with attacks by Washington and London on Houthi gatherings and headquarters in Yemen in response to the latter’s attacks on navigation in the Red Sea.
Earlier, the US Department of Defense announced that US and British forces will direct a new round of strikes on Monday against the Houthis in Yemen because of their targeting of cargo ships in the Red Sea, targeting an underground storage site, missiles and other military capabilities of the Houthis, according to Reuters.
The Pentagon revealed the implementation of 8 new strikes, noting that “these precision strikes aim to disrupt and weaken the capabilities used by the Houthis to threaten global trade and the lives of innocent sailors.”
For its part, the British Ministry of Defense said in a statement on Monday that Britain carried out more strikes against the Houthis in Yemen and their attacks in the Red Sea continue to disrupt navigation.
The statement added that British aircraft used precision-guided bombs to hit several targets near Sanaa airport.
It noted that 4 Typhoon jets joined US forces in the strikes against Houthi positions in Yemen.
The British defence stressed that strikes against Houthi positions would limit their ability to threaten global trade.
