US plans attacks on Houthis

The Houthis are escalating their attacks on ships in the Red Sea. Now the USA and Great Britain want to strike and are planning retaliatory strikes.

Washington – Fears about an expansion of the war in Israel, which previously seemed unlikely, could become reality on the night of Thursday (January 11) to Friday. Most recently, the pro-Iranian Houthis in Yemen launched a new attack on ships in the Red Sea and even directly targeted British and American warships in the area. British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps announced: “Enough is enough.”

Houthi attacks in the Red Sea: retaliation by the USA and Great Britain “in a few hours”

Now the thread of patience with the Houthis has finally broken. Citing US officials, people close to the Houthis and its own sources, the British broadcaster reported Sky News and the US newspaper Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the USA would prepare together with Great Britain for retaliatory attacks against the Houthis. The attacks would begin “in just a few hours,” it said on Thursday evening Sky News citing newspaper sources The Times.

The US newspaper even reported details of the planned strikes. Accordingly, facilities for firing drones and missiles as well as weapons depots and radar systems of the Houthis will be targeted. The Iranian-trained and supported militia has already moved some of its weapons depots to other locations and fortified its facilities. Apparently to keep the damage as low as possible.
