Previously, the United States and Britain said they could carry out repeated strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen if they continue attacks on civilian ships in the Red Sea.
On the night of January 13, the United States launched another strike against the Houthis in Yemen. It is alleged that the Houthi radar complex was damaged.
On the night of January 12, the United States and Britain attacked Houthi military installations in Yemen in response to the movement’s attacks on ships in the Red Sea.
The Houthis are a Zaydi Shiite militant group operating in Yemen that emerged in the 1990s against the religious influence of Saudi Arabia. The group is named after its founder and former leader Hussein al-Houthi, who was killed by the Yemeni army in September 2004. Then the self-proclaimed imam Hussein al-Houthi launched an anti-government uprising, accusing the Yemeni government of so-called “discrimination against the Zaydi population.” After his death, leadership of the group passed to his brother Abdel-Malik al-Houta.
The war in Yemen began at the end of 2014. Saudi Arabia intervened in the conflict. Then the Houthis captured the city of Sanaa and established control over a large part of the north and other large population centers.
