US, Britain launch raids on Yemeni capital

The United States and Britain launched fresh raids on the Yemeni capital Sanaa, the Amran governorate and other areas.

British news agency Reuters confirmed the information on Sunday (November 10) in a report of Al Masirah TV, the main television news outlet run by the Houthi movement.

Houthi media and residents said about nine raids had targeted the Sanaa, its suburbs and Amran governorate.

Iran-aligned Houthi militants have launched attacks on international shipping near Yemen since November last year, in solidarity with the Palestinians in Israel’s war with Hamas.

The attacks have drawn U.S. and British retaliatory strikes and disrupted global trade as ship owners reroute vessels away from the Red Sea and Suez Canal to sail the longer route around the southern tip of Africa.
