British and American forces carried out a fresh round of airstrikes against the Houthis in Yemen late on Monday, January 22, in what Foreign Secretary David Cameron called a clear message over tensions in the Red Sea.The UK’s Ministry of Defence said four Royal Air Force Typhoon FGR4s and a duo of Voyager tankers joined US aircraft in the joint strikes against Houthi targets.Cameron told the BBC on Tuesday that the two countries wanted to “send the clearest possible message” to the Houthis that they would degrade the group’s military abilities, calling the ongoing attacks on civilian vessels around the Red Sea unacceptable and illegal.The Houthis, officially called Ansar Allah, said on Tuesday that the UK and US bombed multiple sites in Yemen.The Houthis said the “attacks will not go unanswered and unpunished.”Hours earlier, the group claimed to have struck an American military cargo ship, Ocean Jazz, in the Gulf of Aden. US Naval Forces Central Command has denied those claims, saying it maintained “constant communications with M/V Ocean Jazz throughout its safe transit” through the Gulf.
