UK ‘legal position is sound’ after strikes on two Houthi-controlled sites in Yemen, says James Heappey
There are no immediate plans for more attacks on Houthi targets in Yemen, a UK defence minister has said, as opposition parties pressed the prime minister, Rishi Sunak, to make a statement to parliament as early as possible.
Labour broadly backed the operation – though it asked for a Commons statement and details of the legal position behind the attack – but the Liberal Democrats and some MPs on the left of Labour said there should have been a vote on the action.
