Trump announces “decisive” US strikes on Yemen's Houthi

The United States has launched "decisive and powerful military action" against Yemen's Houthis, President Donald Trump declared on Saturday.

"We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective," he said in a social media post, accusing the Iran-backed movement of threatening Red Sea shipping.

The Houthis’ Al-Masirah TV said an “An American-British aggression raided a residential neighbourhood in the Shuub district, north of the capital, Sanaa.”

There was no immediate comment from British authorities.
