Fresh Strikes Against Yemen's Houthis Amid Tensions In Red Sea: Report

UN chief Antonio Guterres's special envoy for Yemen urged "all involved" to avoid actions that would endanger maritime trade and "fuel regional tensions at this critical time".

Fresh strikes targeted Yemen's Huthis on Saturday, security sources and the US military said, after the Iran-backed rebels warned of further attacks on Red Sea shipping.

The strikes came a day after US and British forces hit scores of targets across the country, heightening fears that Israel's war with Palestinian group Hamas could engulf the wider region.

Violence involving Iran-aligned groups in Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq and Syria has surged since the war in Gaza began in early October.
