US and UK warships shoot down barrage of rockets, drones and cruise missiles fired at ships by Yemeni group
Britain has warned of severe consequences after US and UK warships were forced to repel a barrage of 20 Houthi rockets, drones and cruise missiles fired at ships in the Red Sea.
It was the most sustained and complex assault mounted by the Iranian-backed group since the Houthi force governing Yemen from the capital, Sana’a, launched its attacks. More than 20 attacks have been mounted since mid-October, deterring a large number of major shipping companies from using the Red Sea naval route and pushing up prices.
