YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

U.S.-led airstrikes on Yemen's Houthi rebels in response to their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea pulled the world's focus Friday back on the yearslong war raging in the Arab world's poorest nation, even as shipping across the wider Mideast remains threatened. Footage released on Friday by the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force reportedly show precision strikes on two locations in Yemen the day before.

The RAF said in its release that one location, Bani in north-western Yemen, was used to "launch reconnaissance and attack drones". An airfield in Abbs was the second location it said was targeted by U.K.'s fighter jets. Video also showed Royal Air Force Typhoon FGR4s returning to its Akrotiri military base in Cyprus.

The strikes threaten to ignite a regional conflict over Israel's war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip, something the Biden administration and its allies have been trying to calm for weeks.
