The U.S. and U.K. carried out strikes on targets in Yemen to retaliate
for Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, President Biden announced in a statement
Thursday night.11 Jan.The strikes were
conducted with assistance from Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands.
"These strikes are in direct response to unprecedented Houthi attacks against international maritime
vessels in the Red Sea—including the use of anti-ship ballistic missiles for
the first time in history," Mr. Biden said, adding he will "not hesitate to direct further measures to protect our
people and the free flow of international commerce as necessary."
A Houthi military spokesperson said Friday that the attacks — 73 in all
— left at least five people dead and wounded six others.
In a videotaped address, Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree said, "The American
and British enemy bears full responsibility for its criminal aggression against
our Yemeni people. This aggression will
not go unanswered. The Yemeni armed forces will not hesitate to target
sources of threat and all hostile targets - on land and at sea - in defense of
Yemen, its sovereignty and independence."
A senior military official told reporters Thursday night the strikes
were launched from air, surface, and sub-surface platforms.The U.S. and other
countries had previously warned the Houthis of consequences should the attacks,
which started shortly after the Israel-Hamas war began, continue. In a
joint statement, the U.S., U.K., Australia, Bahrain, Canada, the Netherlands,
Denmark, Germany, New Zealand and the Republic of Korea, said the strikes were in response to
"continued illegal, dangerous, and destabilizing Houthi attacks against
vessels, including commercial shipping, transiting the Red Sea."
U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in a statement called the strikes
"limited, necessary and proportionate" and said the Netherlands,
Canada and Bahrain provided "non-operational support."
Since Nov. 19, there have been at least 27 attacks on commercial
shipping in the Red Sea, according to CENTCOM. The attacks have prompted
several giant shipping companies to avoid the Suez Canal and transit around all
of Africa instead
Thursday's strike is the first time the U.S. has
conducted strikes against the Houthis since the attacks began in
November.
