Under the tense situation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Middle East region is full of flames. However, the sudden change came from Western countries. The United States and the United Kingdom, two former allies, joined hands to gather six countries to launch a surprise attack on the Houthis in Yemen, destroying 18 important military targets in one fell swoop, shocking the entire region!
The US Department of Defense announced that US and British forces launched strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, reports Alrabiya**. The operation was led by the United States and Britain and supported by troops from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and New Zealand. They launched precision strikes against 18 Houthi targets in eight locations inside Yemen, destroying vital facilities such as storage facilities, drones, air defense systems, radars, and more.
And the Russian TASS news agency reported that the joint strike was carried out under the command of the US ** command, with which the British armed forces cooperated. With the support of Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and New Zealand, 18 Houthi-controlled targets have been hit hard. This is already the fourth largest series of strikes against the Houthis, showing the firm attitude and tough stance of Western countries.
According to Yemen's Al-Masirah television, the Houthi-controlled maintenance camp near Al-Hasaba, the ** camp "Al-Nahdain", Jabal Attan, and military installations on the outskirts of Saraf were bombed by US-British forces.
However, the blow did not bring the Houthis to their knees. In his comments, the US Secretary of Defense said that "the United States will not hesitate to continue military action as needed, with consequences if they do not stop the attack," Sky News reported. "This is a clear demonstration of the determination and strength of the United States.
And the Houthi leaders said on the program that they not only attacked 48 ships, but also sent **183 drones and missiles to Israel. Since January 12, U.S. and British forces have launched 278 attacks in Yemen, demonstrating the West's hardline attitude toward the Houthis.
Although the undeclared strike destroyed 18 important targets, the Houthis are still actively preparing. Since the beginning of this year, they have conducted more than 1,100 military exercises and military parades, 2730,000 fighters were trained. The Houthis have even threatened to completely shut down the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, one of the world's most important shipping routes and the lifeblood of the world.
This sudden strike has made the situation in the Middle East even more confusing. The intransigence of Western countries and the stubborn resistance of the Houthis have raised concerns about this geopolitical game. Where the future will go is full of questions and expectations.
