Britain & US blitz over a dozen Houthi targets in Yemen capital in fresh wave of airstrikes on Iran-backed militia

BRITAIN and the US have blitzed more than a dozen Houthi targets in Yemen in response to the militants’ surge in ship attacks.

The attacks come just days after the terrorist organisation claimed responsibility for four missile attacks, including on a UK cargo ship and two US ships, in just 24 hours.
